Is there something wrong with my rabbit?

I literally just went to go check on my rabbit, and down the middle of his back it looks as though his skin is really flakey, and when i stroked where it is, his hair started to come off onto my fingers really easily. It feel a little bumpy aswell, but there isnt a lump as i checked. Im going to my vet shop tomorrow to make sure everything is ok, but does anyone know what this might be? Is there something wrong with my rabbit?
This is probably fleas. They attack along the skin on the backbone and can cause this problem, such as red, itchy and flaky skin.





Carefully check the area along the backbone (by parting the fur) and you might see tiny black dots darting away. These are the fleas. If you hold your rabbit when it has this problem, it is likely that the fleas are on you, so make sure the clothes you are wearing go in the wash. Try to avoid handling your rabbit.





There are many ways to get rid of fleas, and they are very common. Your vet will probably recommend a shampoo or spray-on solution to conquer the problem. You can also by over the counter remedies for this problem.





Finally, make sure the housing your rabbit stays in is clean and is changed regularly.





I am almost 100% sure this is the problem, so don't be worried. Obviously, keep an eye on her for the time being. Hope this helps!

two things:mites or sarcoptic mange





it is not actually difficult to treat.with proper vet guidance,it should be gone after a week's treatment.do not fret about this.mine had this one and fortunately,with a medicine from the vet,it got better already.





refer to this site that i have found:

if you would just scroll down,there are some pictures of sick rabbits there.pick there what you think is the condition of your rabbit and the proper medicine that is prescribed.
a few times a year a bunny loses hair very easy. Weather does it but so does stress. If your bunny is nerves, his or her hair will come out really easy. He could be back bones u are feeling but like others have mention (mites,fleas and so on) u can use advantage on your bunny but only a small amount. Some bunny like to be brushed with a rabbit brush (nothing like a cat or dog brush cuz its to rough) If you scratch his back, does he look itchy? that could be fleas or something smilier. could be dry skin so make sure he is getting Hay on a daily basis and good food (no food with colors or corn and different things, just pellets is better for them) hope he gets better :)
If you have fleas the rabbit could be allergic to them. Please do not use regular flea dip even if its for cats. It could be deadly to them.


Please take them to the Vet they will prescribe something for your bunny. Good Luck
sounds like mites/mange





take your bunny to the vets and they will sort the bunny out.





shop will be no good unless you know what you are dealing with





its cruel not to take the bunny to the vets.
Parasites such as fleas and mites cause animals irritation. The vet will advise you of a possible treatment.
The bumps might just be his backbone. ;)
Could be Mange
