  Cotton too has a bald spot on his neck. Been there a while. I hope it is only from a shed. He had been shedding a lot.
  
  I noticed it the last time I ever used the furminator. Which was about 2 months ago. Won’t be using it again. I dont’ know if that is what caused it or shedding.
  
  It is pink and healthy looking. No excessive itching. I hope his hair grows back quick there.
  
  Other people have also mentioned a bald spot on their buns too.
  
  So perhaps it is just the shed.

  That’s possible – I do wonder though if that furminator is just too harsh on bunny’s fine fur and delicate skin.

  I have found the furminator takes off too much fur. Even our cat would have thin/bald spots.

  I have had problems with the furminator b4. I won’t be using it again. Bunny skin is just to sensitive for it. And the bald spots it can make. Thats probably what happened with Cottons bald spot like with your cat.
