update on bald patches

[sheridan]

Well, I took both of the bunnies to the vettoday. Ellie had some dandruff around the bald patch so he took samplesand had a look under the microscope.
He says that he couldnt see anything. He also checked with a UV lightand nothing showed up. So he has taken some samples and has sent themaway but that can take up to 6 weeks for the results as they will usedirect immunofluorescense.
I have to drop Ellie off on Friday when they are going to take some scrapings and stuff.
But overall he doesnt think it is mites or ringworm. He thinks it could just be behavioural. What a relief!:colors:

I hope your bunny is just dandy. Keep us updated. We also love pics!!

You can read aboutdandruff at the Bunny 101 section too. I seem to remember a section on dandruff.
Edit: I also remember that that might be mites, or something to that effect.
