Hi everyone, i'm quite new on here. I,ve been reading info on the forum for ages but only recently registered. Anyway to cut a long story short, this morning I found my male rabbit (recently neutered) had managed to 'break out' of his pen and was happily sitting in with my female. (they live in separate pens in a large shed) They have met before and have lived next to each other for quite a while. Anyway my first thought was to check for injuries and my poor boy, Smokey has a really swollen winky! There's no blood or obvious bite wounds but it is really swollen. I assume it's either from Misty biting him or due to excessive humping! I will take him to vets tomorrow but just wondered whether any one can offer me some assurance that he will be OK and will recover. My o/h has been putting bolts etc on the lid of his pen to make sure he stays put now. Poor Smoke always seems to be getting in to trouble.

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. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Hello
I expect he has gotten over amorous !!
Is your Doe spayed ? If not and if Smokey was only neutered within the last couple of weeks she may be pregnant as Bucks remain fertile for 2-4 weeks after castration.
