Fur Gone! Scabies?

[shootingstar]

My 3 year old rabbit may have scabies or a similar condition, lost most of his fur in his legs. He's an outdoor bunny, living alone and we are on the tropics with lots of heat/humidity. What can be done? thanks in advance

I dont know what that is so sorry i cant help but I would check her eyes and ears for discharge and if there is and even if there is not definitely call the vet! hope she gets betterray:

It could be sarcoptic mange (scabies) but also could be any number of other parasites causing skin problems. You need to get to an exotics vet quickly as scratching will lead to secondary infection rapidly.

Good article on mange

It doesn't really look like other pictures I've seen of mange/scabies; more like rubbing the area against something until the hair came off. How fast did it develop & was the hair loss even over whole area at the same time or did it start in what is now the middle & spread out, or what?
