        One of my baby bunnies has something going on with her nose. At first it just looked white and cracked, but now a patch of hair has fallen off and the skin underneath looks a little pink. I’ve been trying to research what it may be, but the only things I’ve found that may be it are dehydration (seems less likely now) and ringworm. They like to cuddle up next to each other and ringworm is really contagious, and she’s had it ever since she came out of the baby burrow about a week ago. No other buns have anything wrong. They live outside but we bring them in at night.
        Has anyone experienced something similar, or does anyone know what this may be? For now we’ve started putting Neosporin on her nose, and we’re going to watch to see if it gets worse and take her to a vet if it does.
        I’m trying to upload some pictures, but the file size of the images is way too big and I’m not sure how to fix it

          You can use Paint to resize the image.

          Have you ever noticed moisture under the nose, like a rabbit equivalent of snot?

          It sounds like she’s extremely young, so I’d see an exotic vet to get a formal consultation since there may be more baby-specific factors not being considered.

            No snot or anything like that. All the hair came off, and it’s just pink skin without any hair. It looks like the area is getting a little bigger. We have a vet coming to look this week. Going to keep putting Neosporin. Others who have no signs of it. Has anyone seen something like this??

                Soooo we looked at the others and it looks like they have early stages on their eyes and nose. Looks like ringworm. Since we’ve all been cuddling them and they’ve all been cuddling each other everyone probably has ringworm!! YAY! -_- At least now I don’t have to figure out this picture thing!

                  The photo upload can be finicky. I tried to fix it for you but it comes up as a broken image. Sounds like you have a lead, so definitely see a vet asap to get proper treatment.
