ANSWER: hello

I am very sorry that your bunny got hurt. Please make sure that there is no more bleeding and try and keep the bitten area clean.

Go and see your vet ASAP just incase the bitten area starts to get infected and he may need stitches.
I dont think you will be at risk of catching anything.

he will be very scared so give him as much love as possible.

let me know how he gets on

QUESTION: hi sarah,
thank you for ur answer. he's not bleeding but he doesn't move or eat at all. we are so worried about him. i have called the vet. she said she's not sure if she can cure the bunny but the fee they charge is more than 200dolla which is too much for us to afford honestly. do you have any advice that we can make him feel better???
we sincerely thank you for ur help


Answer
so glad that he is not bleeding.
That is a lot of money. Vets are so exspensive.
i have some advice that might be of some helps.

firstly if he is still out side then i would reccomend bringing him inside for a few nights so you can keep an eye on him. Either bring his cage inside or get a big cardboard box to let him rest in. make sure that he is nice and warn, wrap him in a blanket or put in loads of bedding. (don't let him get over hot though). make sure he is able to get water all the time. Is he not drinking as well? if he isn't then i would try and give him some cuecumber because its full of water. does he have a fav treat or veg as he may want to eat more if he has something he really likes?

all it could be is your bunny may still be in shock from his attack so give him loads of strokes and cuddles if you can.

Is the wound really open?or does it seem to be getting better?

let me know if i can help you some more.

i do hope he feels better soon.
