What if you stick the picture on your computer and "paint" the shutters there, see if you like the look??

Not according to all the things I've been doing lately that turn to crap.

So the newer rabbits have been here for bout a week..And it seems the doe stopped eating and drinking.. iv checked her over and don't notice anything visibly wrong. Ears, eyes, vent clean..I saw her pick at her food Wednesday but she hasn't made a dent and I haven't had to fill her bottle like I did on Monday when she emptied them.. the males she came with are just guzzling their food and water so I dunno what to do for her..I'm gonna pick some dandelion and see if that'll help. They already take acv in water....
I switched her bottle from the pin kind to the regular ball kind. I know she drank out of it Monday but she may have just been thirst enough..Atleast this way maybe she's comfortable enough to drink now..If she doesn't have any drank by tomorrow I'll try bowl.

So I noticed this week ace hair on his ears and part of his head is thinning...I'm not sure what to make of this. He doesn't scratch more than usual... He'll be 6yr old this fall so I don't think it could be old age that much.. most my dog's didn't show old age til bout 8-9yr old..

Some kind of mange or mites or something???

 

[mygoldendoe]

Well those crossed my mind but he's not itching an extreme amount..He has grown bald elbows after we brought him for this winter but I thought maybe it was bc of our hardwood and tile. (He sleeps on a rug, couch and blankets) when I investigated his patches on his ears they don't have any flakes or residue that it's think mites would leave behind, they don't even have broken skin from scratching. I wouldn't say the skin is dry (as it's not ashin or flakey) but the coloring seems a bit pale compared to surrounding skin. Even his calloused bald elbows are Pinker than those patches

Try tea tree oil. Give him a bath in baby shampoo and use the tea tree oil as a leave in conditioner all the way to his skin. If he's anything like mine he will very much love this massage. Let the skin under his fur to feel oily. It's going to soak in as he dries. This really helped my pit who had similar looking spots
