Still no answer



It has been awhile since I wrote feel like I am running in circles. Took Candy and Isacc back to the vets they did a scrapping again and also checked there ears, in the few day's between all this Jefferson who was the first rabbit to show this scabbing has started to grow his hair back and his ears are fine, he is having trouble walking with his back legs but that is due to his age I am sure, no other rabbit's have had hair loss or scabs even though Rudy was in the same cage as Jefferson and Marcus was with Candy they had nothing. Vet called  and nothing showed up on the tests no mites bugs bacteria nothing but dead hair and skin, so at this point we have no idea what it is, I am thinking it could be an allergy from something in the bedding hay, because I ran out of hay soon after it showed up and nothing got worse but a bit better all except Candy. My poor Candy has hair from the middle of her back to her bum that is just about all she has, nothing on her legs chest tummy neck even her face is bald I will post a picture to show, tonight I am on the fence as to weather I should let her keep fighting or let her go, she has a temp again and is having runny poop but eating and drinking very well and doesn't seem to hurt if I touch her or lift her up, I put veg oil all over her to soften her skin so it wouldn't crack and bleed that helped big time but in the next 3 days will tell if she is going to improve or? It will be so very hard for me to let her go but I love her to much to let her suffer. The vet said she is healthy other then the hair loss so not sure what to do, I wish she could talk and tell me what to do, for now I keep her in a warm room that is quiet lol she is actually in our spare bathroom because it is beside the heater and stays warm and having her there works cause my hubby checks on her all day long if I am at work and also because she is up on the counter the cat can't get to her. This winter has been hard on me and my baby's I have 4 rabbit's upstairs 2 males need to be fixed and have never been outside so I had to keep them in till spring and 2 fixed males that have very short hair and would not make it out in the barn all winter then I have Isacc and Candy downstairs, needless to say I am very much wanting this winter to end so I can have my craft room back..
