I have 5 bunnies. Three of which have developed areas where the fur is pulling out with large amounts of thick, clumpy dandruff. The skin underneath is irritated and looks like a superficial sore that wasn't caused by injury or trauma to the area. The fur will just keep rubbing off. We went to the vet today with one of the bunnies because i thought it might be fur mites. There was no visible mites or movement but the vet said that wasnt a guarantee. They gave me a shampoo but there is no way i'm bathing these bunnies. I'm afraid that they will kick their legs and break a bone, stress out and have a heart attack or illness, get a chill and get sick. I just dont know what to do as an alternative. If it were mites i would go with selamectin (revolution), i'm not a big fan if invemectin (sp?). Any ideas? Is it possible that the dry winter air in the house is causing a dermatitis type reaction? It's very dry in here. Their appetite is fine, their little poops are fine, they seem happy. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I am attaching a photo of the condition.
