Riley and Pancake have been shedding for quite some time, like a month. I went to put them into their cage earlier and since Pancake was licking at her back end I figured I would, very much against her will, help her groom.
I found that her hair was coming out again. I mean if I kept plucking she'd have a bare rear end, which isn't good when it's 50 to 60 degrees F in her room. Where I can see her skin it's pink but splotchy and without dandruff. The small red spots might be from me plucking but ringworm supposedly does that.
I picked up Riley and while his fur isn't coming out easily in such big clumps, it seems unnaturally loose and clumpy. It's hard for me to tell though because as far as I know the only shedding I've ever seen a rabbit do is from ringworm.
I hate the idea of them having a ringworm infection again. I'm going to call their vet of course but it makes me so mad. The treatment takes forever, and since it's cold out it's a horrible time for them to be losing hair. I feel like there's nothing I can do to prevent it and it's going to keep coming back.
