Which of the following is not associated with the condition known as 'slipping coat'?

The condition known as 'slipping coat' typically involves abnormal shedding and can lead to a variety of coat issues. The correct answer highlights that a smooth texture is not characteristic of slipping coat. Instead, slipping coat is marked by coarse or uneven fur rather than a smooth appearance.

Excessive shedding, molting fur, and abundant hair loss are all associated with slipping coat, as they reflect the disordered shedding process that occurs when the coat is in poor condition. In cases of slipping coat, rabbits may experience irregular patches where fur does not lie flat, leading to a rough appearance rather than a smooth one. Understanding this can help when assessing rabbit health and grooming needs.
