hi, can anyone help, i have been away for the weekend and came back to my 2 rabbits which i was told was 2 boys. one of the rabbits has chunks of hair missing and there was alot of blood on her and the floor. it has a blood sack type thing hanging off her. im not sure what to do as i dont want to pull it and risk damaging her or leave it until the morning etc, please advise, thanks, worm burner
 
You really need to get the bunny to the vets.
Has no one been to see the bunnies all weekend?
 
Vets urgently. I'm confused have you got two boys or a boy and a girl. If you have a boy and a girl unneutered you may have the patter of tiny feet soon.

If you believe she is pregnant she should not be keep with a male. As soon as she gives birth the male would get her pregnant again within minutes.
 
Where exactly is the 'blood sack' hanging from?
I would take her to vets NOW, very important to see a vet and then find out if they are male/female!

Please get her to a vet!!
 
thank you all for your advice i have just come back from the vets and it turned out that he was indeed a boy, the course of action is, he is staying in over night to be castrated it was not a blood sac but his testicle they were both inflamed the vet said and this was the best course of action, once again a big thank you to all of you for you help all the best adam.:love:
 
Phew, thank goodness that he's okay and in the right place.

Two boys can really harm each other's bits when buns fall out.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

Thank you to all who replied and your best wishes

I would like to thank you all for your advise and now he is home with us and made my children very happy. He has been castrated today and seems fine although we are now seperating them and have bought a new hutch, although he will be kept in the house for a while. Thank you for your interest and best wishes, all the best, wormburner
 
That's great news! I was worried too when I heard about the blood sack - I was imagining bunny boy bits half bitten off, *shudder*.

Glad bun is ok.
 
Glad he is ok. I would get the other castrated too if I were you. They might even be able to live together then as there will be less testosterone flying around. I have seen castrated males that live together fine. Advice says never to pair 2 females - an even worse combination than 2 males and mine get along fine so it might be worth a shot.
