Hair loss around the mouth and nose in rabbits can be indicative of several issues. Dental problems, such as spurs or malocclusion, often lead to slobbering and subsequent fur loss due to moisture and irritation. Mites or fungal infections (ringworm) are also possibilities. Nutritional deficiencies or stress can sometimes manifest with fur abnormalities, too. It’s important to have a rabbit-savvy vet examine your pet to pinpoint the exact cause and start appropriate treatment, especially since dental issues are common and can be painful.
