Rabbit eye fur loss after ant bite: Is it irritation or infection?

Hi, and thanks for your question. That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis and eyelid inflammation, probably secondary to an infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well.

The most common reason for hair loss in rabbits is skin parasites like mites. If he only has one spot I would not be overly worried just now. Just monitor him and if you notice more spots showing up or he is scratching/itching then you need to get him to a vet for an exam.

If he was having a lot of nasal discharge that drained around his nose this can explain the hair loss there. Typically the discharge can also land on the front legs and irritate the skin there too. Of course other possibilities such as mites and skin infections are also possible. I would encourage you to have him evaluated by a veterinarian soon. Best of luck and thank you for caring for this bunny and for using Pet Coach.

It looks like the ear is definitely irritated and has some hair loss, however without an exam in person it would be hard to say if it's bacterial, allergies, etc as the cause. It is best to bring Marwa to a vet to have it checked and any samples taken so that the appropriate medication can be given.

This presentation could be due to a trauma or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria but mites and fungal infections are possible as well). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths.

It could be infection or inflammation. Clean and sanitize the cage, bowls, water bottle and hides. Replace the bedding and clean daily to keep the cage as dry as possible. If Sosow is licking or chewing at his leg, you will need to place a small e-collar (cone) on him and have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits to diagnose and treat infection or inflammation.

Hello, and thanks for your question. Ouch, poor Razz! From that photo it looks like Razz has a deep ulcerated wound that is likely infected. Razz should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible, as she likely needs to be put on antibiotics to treat that wound. I hope this helps and she feels better soon!
