My Rabbit has missing hair on her neck.

Question

Hello. I noticed that my Rabbit is missing a round circle of hair on her neck. What is the reason? Thanks.

Answer 1

if the skin looks irritated, maybe ringworm. also female rabbits rip hair off of their chest and neck when they are pregnant for their nest. rabbits are very sensitive, it could be some disease. you should take her to a vet to get checked out. but if you dont hink its worth it to go to the vet then just wait, feed her healthy food, give her lovin, and see what happens

Answer 2

Could be any one of a number of things.  My first guess would be ringworm if the skin looks irritated and it's a perfect circle.  She could also have just pulled a hunk of hair out somehow.  If the hair doesn't start growing back very soon, I'd have a vet check it out.  If it's ringworm, she'll need to be treated with an anti-fungal to get rid of it.  Ringworm is also highly contagious to humans and other animals, so wear gloves when you handle her until you're sure that's not what it is.
