Wound on back...

I noticed Last night that leo has a biggish, deepish wound on his back.
He isnt living with any other bunnies, i checked his cage and run area and no sharp bits although he did jump out of his cage on sat morning which i think could be the cause.

Now i have given him some metacam and dabbed slightly salted, cooled boiled water on the wound and it does look fine and has scabbed over but i dont have any baytril to stop infections!

Im so worried about him :cry:

If i keep an eye on it and clean it with slightly salted water would that be ok? If i see anything odd i will go to the vets immediately, i just dont want to take him there if i dont need to as hes a very nervey bunny and is very shy so want to avoid all stress factors if possible!

Any advice much appreciated :wave:
 
yes, exactly, I was going to say as it happened to Chloe following a set of sub-cutaneous injections recently..
 
Sounds like injections! Truffles baytril burn has still got a tiny scab round it. She lost about three cm of hair and it all scabbed. As I say, most has gone now and she has been left with dark grey turfty hair which is growing well. :lol::lol:
 
can he get under his cage or anything, happed to alfie as he managed to get under his hutch and then got stuck. i took him to the vets who said bathing it in salty water would be ok and that he probs. it healed after about a week and was fine :)
 
Sorry not been on, my laptop cable isnt working so gotta use my mums :lol:

Not had any injections or anything, Its looking ok but i wil keep my eye on it!
Im just so confused i have searched high and low to find anything sharp he could have gotten to but ive not found anything!
If it goes red or inflamed i will go to the vets but its healing fine:)
