After a bedding change, belly fur loss with scratching is likely an allergy or skin disease. Stop the bedding, clean the cage, and soothe the skin; if that doesn't help, see a vet.
A 6-day-old puppy, eyes still closed, one eye is swollen and soft to the touch — what to do?
Swelling may come from poor eye cleaning, bug bites, allergy or scratches. Buildup of discharge irritates and inflames. Check for foreign matter and clean with saline or pet eye wash; treat infection or injury with eye anti-inflammatories.

What are the symptoms when a rabbit has internal heat?
Common symptoms of internal heat in rabbits include increased eye discharge, watery eyes, and a dry nose.
