Hi! I've posted up pictures of Atilla The Bun (Tilly) before when she's been very adorable, but I think she might be ill.

She's losing her fur. It's coming out in big big clumps, getting everywhere (and giving me some huge allergic reactions, but that's another story) and she doesn't seem her usual bouncy self. I put the original hair loss down to a seasonal moult but I think it's too early (we're in the uk and the weather's been horrendous recently) and it's been going on for about three weeks at this stage. She's been brushed everyday but if I ever go to pick her and she runs, lumps come out in my hands.

I keep her inside in a large cage and she has the run of her room when I'm home. She's on a complete diet with hay cookies which she prefers over normal hay, the odd dried sweetcorn and stick of celery. She also drinks like a fish.- she has a large water bottle which is refilled everyday.

I don't know how old she is, or what breed she is, as she was a rescue from PetsAtHome who didn't have too many details about her.

If anyone has any ideas before I take her to the vet, I'd be most grateful. Cheers
