Skin Hole

Question
Our favorite and only bunny has a !.5 inch in diameter hole in her skin on her lower back. No fur loss, but a hole to her flesh. She is not in pain as she is played with regularly and this was just noticed today, and no infection, though she felt it when peroxide was administered. Any suggestions would be appreciated. No vets nearby with bunny experience. Thanks

Answer
Hi Rose

I would have a chat with a vet, even if they're not bunny pro they will have experience with skin damage in animals. There could be pain there but rabbits hide pain until it's unbearable.

It could be an abscess which has popped. She may need anti-biotics as infection could still happen (such as Baytril).

Fingers crossed she heals quickly!
