https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/10105/rabbit-self-trauma Currently we have a rabbit that chews a hole in its flank once a year - this happened in April 2009 (right side) , December 2010 and December 2011 (both left side). Every time it happens, we stitch it up, give it a buster collar and it&#39;s fine til theen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/51035?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:03:40 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a83fcf1e-8b0f-4aae-abfe-dcad32288b4bMarie Kubiak<p>Rabbits can develop allergies but they are unusual and I haven&#39;t one present as such a severe skin lesion.</p> <p>Does this rabbit have any other symptoms? I would consider full work-up as this is the third time to see if there are internal lesions that could lead to intermittent pain. I have seen one bunny with a kidney stone traumatise over the flank but this was a lower level, more consistent self-trauma.</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
