Have you bathed it? Warm, slightly salted water would be good. It does look like quite a long tear...I would get her checked at the vet just in case.

Yeah...you don't want to risk it getting infected.
Vets if you can, they maybe able to put a stitch in it.
Harley has her ear done twice on one ear :roll: I bathed it in cooled boiled water with a bit of salt in, then in Tea Tree antibacterial stuff I had for the buns and just kept an eye on it.
Its healed nicely but she has permanently shredded ears

omg! im sorry to see they fought and viciously as well!!
I would take your torn ear bunny to the vet and see if the ear can get stitched up and also to get it properly cleaned up before an infection occurs.
It may be okay to have a torn ear bunny, but as the ears are so integral to a rabbit, it should be checked out by a vet. Also if it remains torn, but has healed, your bunny may catch it on something like a cage bar later on in life and then does a quick turn possibly and can rip the ear further.
Are you bunnies normally spearated and don't get along well? Or are they friends and this is a surprise fight out of the blue?

I can't really see how far across it's been torn, but if it bled profusely she may need it stitching because the main blood supply might have been cut off, which could cause part of the ear to die...that's just a worse case scenario though, I'm sure it won't come to that.
One of mine had her ear sewn up and it was as good as new a few months later

The buns are brothers, but they live seperately as they haven't been neutered yet. I was hoping they'd live together again after neutering but i don't think they will be possible anymore cos they are hate each other
Violet has now had his ear cleaned, dressed and he's had baytril. It didn't bleed badly. Hopefully it'll be alright. Silly little boy

Sorry to hear they fought and Violet got hurt badly
Maybe once nuetered and hormones have calmed they might get along. When my lot were seperate before nuetering, Simba managed to get to Olivers cage and they went ballestic at the bars fighting, luckly the cage was between them so easy for me to get simba out the way and they couldnt fight as bad. But out of my 3 bonded now the boys are the closest.
Hope violets ear heals fine, I would of been a nervouse wreck.
