Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

In the thread on "help on my bunnys body" i showed pics of how his wound would this be good for him?
 
Hi,

He really needs to see a VET i wouldnt recommend trying anything on him, until he has seen a vet first.

The thing you have posted about is not neccessary at this point for your bun, he needs pain relief, antibiotics...he really needs a Vet.

:)
 
are you being serious?
Take him to the vet please.
If i was in America i would come and take him myself!
Please do the right thing.
 
Please stop telling me that, If he get worse I will take him but today his wound is healing and litle spots of new hair are growing:)
 
Are you going to get him a more suitable house?

Only the box really isnt suitable for him at all.

IMO - he still should see a Vet no matter what :?
 
Has he got a different house now?
Is he now an indoor bunny separated from his brother for good?
 
My Dear God! I have just read the whole of the other post, you mentioned about. I am sitting here crying :? :(

That bunny must be in so much pain - im suprised hes alive today to be honest!! Is he eating and drinking ok?? You really need to get him some help soon :cry:

Please dont look online for treatments for him - they wont help and may make it worse :(
 
Has he got a different house now?
Is he now an indoor bunny separated from his brother for good?

From what i understand, he is separated from his brother until one heals, i dont think Daniel is going to put them back together, he said not anyways.

The bun is currently living in two boxes which have been taped together.

Are you getting him a new house? :)
 
:censored::censored::censored::censored: That poor bunny :cry::cry: What a cruel heartless :censored: you are - you have had advice from all over and yet you still don't do anything:censored::censored:

Get those buns to a shelter and let them get treated and have a life:censored: As for that poor little one with the wounds - words fail me:censored: If I lived in the US I would come and take the lot off you and then make you have injuries like that poor bun:censored::censored:
 
Please stop telling me that, If he get worse I will take him but today his wound is healing and litle spots of new hair are growing:)

The reason people keep telling you to take this injured rabbit to the vet is because it needs to go to the vet right now.

If you care about the rabbit then get it help from a vet.
 
Okay, if there is one thing you are going to do, PLEASE make sure you dont ever put these two rabbits together again.

Although i cant stress enough how much he needs to see a Vet :?
 
I have spoken to Daniel1Dirk via PM, his other rabbits aren't too badly looked after (in comparison to many we see on this site, almost daily). He is trying, I ACTUALLY believe that this is a case of lack of knowledge (not everyone is born knowing everything about all animals). He tells me he plans to seek advice from a vet, and has sent me pics of his animals enclosuer, which could be improved. I am giving advice on it all in a friendly way, I think everyone ganging up on him and saying horrid things really isn't going to help anyone/ anybun!

I really understand that on here we are so used to seeing this sort of thing, and it gets sooooo frustrating repeating the same thing over and over, but everyone new that comes on here (seeking help) hasn't seen all the old threads, and doesn't know what they are doing is wrong. And I really don't think that shouting and screaming (sometimes it can seem that way in a post, even if its not meant to) is going to help.

We really do need to repeat the same stuff over, and take every new case as a novice owner, educate them and hope to improve their pets life. Even if we cannot make everybun treated to how we expect them to be treated, if we can advise on a few things, I'm sure it would be a great improvement to the individual animal.

Hopefully all this makes sence, if not then blame it on lack of sleep :D
 
That bun needs to see a vet immediately.

He's going to be in a lot of pain, even though he may not be showing it.

And cardboard boxes are not suitable for bunny accomodation. My bunny can chew her way through a cardboard box in minutes. So even if he hasn't started chewing yet, he probably will, and then there will be a rabbit on the loose.

If it's a wound from a rabbit bite it will most definately turn in to an absess if left untreated, which will in the long run cost you much more than taking the poor guy to the vets now. Bella was left with a rabbit bite which turned in to an absess that has cost me over £700 in vets bills. Take him to the vets now to save you money later.

I think the best suggestion is to get ALL your rabbits to a safer place sooner rather than later, I'm sure there are plenty of shelters/rescues nearby to you. They may even be able to take them on until you are able to provide more suitable accomodation and have researched rabbits more thoroughly.
 
It good that you have separated this rabbit and are getting him a new cage but don't you think that the amount of members here are telling you to take the rabbit to the vet because he REALLY NEEDS to go to the vet today.

We can all see that these are very painful injuries for the rabbit and just because you THINK that they're healing ok it doesn't mean they are.

Please stop ignoring this fact. His health is the most important thing right now.

He's a lovely bun, please get him help.
 
its normally injected or fed, its not a cream. if you can’t afford the vets you can’t afford your rabbits. simple as. i know your doing all you think you can but its not enough. rabbits cost money and if everything has to be done on the cheap you have to reduce your numbers.
