My rabbit is suddenly rubbing its head and losing fur. What could it be?

Question

Nothing has changed in my friend's rabbit's environment and she's suddenly started rubbing the fur off her head.

This could be caused by intense itch. In these cases allergies, mites infestation, or other skin parasites and bacterial dermatitis could be suspected. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately.
