Wet fur under chin/cheeks

[Agatha]

Hello. My four year old spayed female rabbit (Holland Lop) has wet fur under her chin/left cheek. At first I noticed hair loss under the chin and recently it seems that her left cheek is also constantly wet (However, I have noticed that when she drinks water her left cheeks is dripping wet so I am not sure if it is a dental issue). She has also been sneezing quite a bit recently (Three quick sneezes in a row and then she stops for a while). My other rabbit is acting normal (no sneezing or wet fur).

She has been drinking normally and eating the same. No issue with using the washroom either.

I have seen some image of the fur turning green and I do not want to risk an infection if I wait any longer. Does anyone know the approximate pricing for vets in Canada (Toronto) for an issue like this, or if there are any other solution as I do not want to put her through a lot of stress. I have been trying to keep the fur dry.

Here’s some image of the issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciate. (This is my first time using this forum).

I don’t have any knowledge of vet costs in Canada. I can tell you though that your bunny will need to see a vet. Unfortunately, drooling like this is most likely a dental problem of some sort. If she is sneezing, then tooth roots could be involved as well (tooth roots can overgrow into the sinuses). Is she still eating OK? Are the bunnies together? Sometimes it’s hard to monitor eating/pooping when you have a bonded pair.

I would be calling to make an appointment this week with a vet that specialize with rabbits. Yes she is eating perfectly fine. The bunnies are together. I wish to see a vet as quickly as possible. Does anyone know if most vet takes walk-ins? Should I bring my other rabbit to give her a companion? I will be calling the vet when they open, but if anyone has additional advice on taking rabbits to a vet I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
