Hair loss and redness on your rabbit's neck can certainly be concerning, and there are several potential causes to consider. It might be due to an allergic reaction, mites, or even a fungal infection like ringworm. Additionally, stress or hormonal imbalances could also contribute to this issue.

For home care, you can gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth to remove any debris or irritants. It's important to ensure that her living environment is clean and free from any potential allergens. If you suspect mites, you might notice small white specks or excessive scratching. In such cases, consulting a veterinarian for appropriate treatment would be the best course of action.

Since this issue has only been present for a day, keep an eye on the area for any changes. If the redness worsens, you notice any swelling, or if Lyla seems uncomfortable or in pain, it would be wise to seek veterinary advice to rule out any serious conditions.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
