So i have spotted it quite many times before, that my bun has a double-chin(dewlap) thingy so his fur is prone to being matted or stained near that area.
Recently, however, i have spotted those matted tufts of hair get attached to a flaky, crusty patch of skin below that are rough. They seem to be annoying him in some way as well.
When i very gently pulled those crusty strands upward, they came loose, sometimes with or without the flaky skin, leaving a whopping red ring around his mouth.
I know it's partially my fault for picking at it and making it worse, but it's better than him scratching his chin to bleeding, i think.
Just for a little side note though, that area, along with his nose and the split-lip place(right under the nose) are wet. Partially from breathing, i guess, but i'm not so sure.
I have to try asking other bunny parents' advice before i go complaining to my own, unless i want them to brush the worry off.
If it is truly abnormal and can't be helped at home, i will try to email the vet the pic, although i'm not so sure how good connected theg are via internet.
