My rabbit has had pretty dry skin for about a month now. I have taken her to the vet on 3 separate occasions to check her for fur mites, and she doesn't have any. My vet just said she has dry skin.
I noticed today she (accidentally?) pulled out a decent size patch of fur, and there are little blood drops. It's not a huge patch - smaller than a dime - but I'm still a little uneasy about it. I was wondering, what is the test for seborrhea? My vet didn't seem too concerned with her skin (not that he is uncaring, but he thinks it's only dry skin). I'm wondering if it is a mild case of seborrhea? Would my vet have tested for this and not mentioned it to me if the results were negative?
Also, I've read that seborrhea can have a nasty smell. How strong is it? Would I be able to notice if I was in the room with her, or only up close and smelling her skin?
