Hair Loss in Himalayan Rabbits – What Does It Mean


Should you worry if your pet Himalayan rabbits experience constant shedding? Shedding coats at least twice a year is quite typical for healthy Himalayan rabbits. Then, their hair grows back with no trouble at all. But, if you notice your pet is losing fur more than usual, it is best to visit your veterinarian right away. It may be a sign of a serious health concern such as skin sores.


To help your rabbit reduce fur shedding, brush him regularly. This will also help your pet to eat his own hair. Hairballs are common for them but you can’t stop them from ingestion. So, make sure you get rid of these hairballs as much as possible.


If hair loss still continues, talk to your vet about why your rabbit is losing hair and advice you on how to regrow his fur back normally. Your local vet Louisville KY can provide you additional information.
