Title basically says it all. My ten month old Holland Lop doe is getting bald spots on her face, weird thing is they're symmetrical. Right at the underside of the ears, above her eyes like eyebrows, and above her ears. She is((maybe?)) molting; she's shedding like crazy. But shouldn't there be a reason to molt? Like a temperature change? She's kept inside with three other rabbits and four babies and none of them are molting.
She's been eating normally((well, her 'normally')), and is eating hay right now but I checked the drip dish under her water bottle and it was nearly full which basically means she hasn't drunk much in well, a while. She's been peeing, though, and pooing normally. I cleaned her litter box out a couple days ago and changed from hay & newspaper to paper pellets, but she had spots under her ears before then. I also haven't had an adverse effects from the other 7 rabbits using it.
I have no idea what would cause symmetrical bald spots. Any ideas? I'd rather not take her to a vet, my mother doesn't get paid for a while so we don't have money to spend unless we take it from my savings.
