Hi everyone! I have been lurking on this site since before I got my bun Comiskey. I wanted to be prepared and I have loved coming on here for advice and to be able to see other buns. Comiskey is 3 months old and I have had him since he was weaned from his mom. At that time he was with a very loving family who held him and took great care of him. He is a hilarious and funny little guy and of course being a new bun mom, the tiniest things worry me! I took him to the vet at 2 months for a check up and to make sure I found a vet that was rabbit savvy and was great with him. I found one and she said he looked fantastic and he did great. I still check him over myself and he loves having his back rubbed. I have never felt anything out of the ordinary until tonight.
This is beginning to be long so my apologizes! Anyways, I was rubbing his back and I felt something. It reminded me of when he sometimes gets sleepies in his eyes and he gets them out but then they get in his fur and i just brush them off. It was tiny and white and felt like it was a little tangled. It is on his skin, under his fur and i feel like it looks like a small piece of dandruff. This is the only spot on him it doesn’t seem to bother him. It just seems like a little flake, not red – just the color of his skin.
Now the reason I am worrying is I am leaving tomorrow for 10 days and he will be alone with his dad. I know he will take great care of him but it worries me and we talked about it and he is going to keep a close eye on it and take him in if it changes – but i was wondering if any of you wonderful people had ever seen something like this. I googled and only found mite things and fleas – and it looks nothing like any of those. It is just the one spot – probably the size of 1/4 of a penny and its kinda just sitting there semi attached to his skin.
Sorry for the length and thank you so much for helping a new mom!
