        Hello everyone, so recently my bunny (Mr. Bunny) broke his foot, so he needs to go see a vet and then they told me that he doesn’t need surgery, but instead they can reconnect the two broken bones (radius&ulna) to the other broken pair and it would cost me about $59 for the procedure and so I agreed and I was happy that my bunny doesn’t need surgery, because surgery cost like… well it’s expensive. Few days passed by I’m started to get worried, because he’s trying to remove the band off his leg and so I checked that area and I noticed this huge bald spot with red rashes or maybe it was caused by hair pulling and it was only on the part or maybe it’s the band maybe it’s tight that’s why he started pulling his fur off. I put some neosporin on his bald spot to avoid any infections, but I would like to get some advice from BinkyBunny community, because this is the place that I trust when it comes to helping one another about bunnies.

          It could be that as he’s trying to move around, that the cast is rubbing up against that area and causing the hair loss. The other option you mentioned already that it is irritated and that’s the only place he can scratch at/get to to relieve irritation and so is pulling hair there. The skin looks fairly healthy, though if you’re concerned you could phone the vet and just ask whether it’s normal. I suspect that the cast just rubs there though.
