Pet Rabbits and Hair Loss

 


If you’ve noticed that your pet rabbit is shedding more than usual, then you may want to call your vet. Irregular shedding may include excessive hair loss or even bald patches on the rabbit’s coat. In general, rabbits tend to shed at least twice a year. Most healthy rabbits are able to grow a new coat not too long after shedding out their old coat. There may be times when some rabbits, depending on age and breeding, are prone to shed more than twice a year but that could be their particular normal. You may not be able to tell this if you haven’t had your rabbit for more than a couple of shedding seasons. Talk with your vet or schedule an exam to find out the reason for the hair loss. Some common reasons include sores on the skin, illness, and hormone imbalance. Consult with your vet Covington GA to learn more.
