TLDR The document does not determine if essential fatty acids improve rabbit skin health.

The document from January 1, 2021, evaluated the effectiveness of a commercial topical solution containing essential fatty acids (omega-3 and -6) and natural extracts on rabbits with skin disorders. Skin disorders are common in rabbits and can be associated with deficiencies in vitamins and essential fatty acids. The study aimed to assess whether the topical application of essential fatty acids could improve skin health by enhancing coat quality, strengthening the skin barrier, reducing water loss through the skin, and potentially decreasing the need for glucocorticoid treatments. The document does not provide specific results or the number of rabbits involved in the study, so the effectiveness of the treatment cannot be determined from the summary provided.
