Hey

I went to feed the rabbits this morning but found some blood in the cage, it was dry and there was a few splats nearby, Im really worried as I dont know where its comes from?

I have two rabbits in the hutch and attached run, I checked Sophie she seemed fine no blood on her anywhere? I couldnt check fluffy as he woulgnt let me get hold of him (he has all white coat fur so i checked him visually best I could) and there doesnt seem to be blood on him either?

Nothing Could have really got into the run as its blocked from everywhere plus I keep them in the garage, Im really worrried, any advice?

Cheers
 
Hi - sorry to hear about the blood!

Not that this might be it but a couple of weeks ago I found splats of pee with blood in it, looked just like blood stains (some pictures on this site http://blog.kaninur.org/ - scroll all the way down). It turned out my girl had a urinary tract infection (she was a bit messy around her vagina).

You probably have to try and get hold of Fluffy and give him a proper check.

Sorry that I can't be of more help! Hopefully someone else will be around soon to help you! :wave:
 
Have you checked to see if there are any claws missing:D what age is your female and has she been neutered?

Check claws:D I found blood all over Calel's section & after a mad panic thinking he had tried to eat his girlfriend, I found a claw had been broke low down. I cut the end off & dabbed some wound powder on it & it was fine. I was surprised by how much blood there was though:shock:
 
Years ago one of my sisters buns caught a claw and ripped it clean out - I've never seen so much blood from something like that so def check the claws.
 
Thanks to everyone who replied. I was very worried that I ended up calling the vet and getting her to check them both out. She said they both were fine but yet she still put Sophie on antibitoics? which I couldnt quiet understand.:roll:

Also she said it was nothing to worry about and to treat Sophie with the antibiotics for the next couple of days and she will be ok.

Im still so confused as she didnt really tell me much, she even at one point said to give both of them the anti biotics even though fluffy doesnt need them, i asked well wont it affect him if I gave them to him when he doesnt need them? and she just said yeah probably. Im not impressed with my visit there tbh and still dont know 100% the root of the problem.
