Picked Lucy up today after her being in her cage all day (it's raining and she usually spends the day out in her covered run.
The rear part of her genital lump (if you know the bit i'm talking about) has lost all the fur and is inflamed. Brother told me to go see a vet, but my mum won't let me take her to a vet as in my mum's opinion it's not a problem.
I'll take a picture soon but I can't walk around my backs gone on me.
I don't know if it's urine scald or not, she does not appear to have bitten or chewed the area.
She is on a pellet diet with a constant intake of water and there is little to no chance she has been exposed to anything new. She did have a bit of alfalfa yesterday, she gets a small handful each week. I noticed that the fur that is now missing was slightly bleached, however I never find the fur wet so it doesn't seem that she is sitting in her own urine.
She has been being given mint and rosemary on a regular basis, could this be causing a big problem?
