Penis injury :-(

hi all im new on here and under unfortunate cirumstances i have a dutch(gizmo) and a mini lop(pipin) both males they are both caged seperatly and i have never had a problem with them fighting but tonight i stepped out the room only to walk back in to pipin humping gizmos face then i can only assume gizmo bit him cause pipins legs pointed upwards i checked pipin looks like gizmo has nipped him on the end of his penis now im worried about what to do until i can get the time off work to get him to a vet(im a mechanic) is there anything i can do just to help him till i get to the vets :(:(:(
 
I'd take him to the vets as soon as possible just so they can check the damage. If its a bad bite it could affect him when going for a wee so it really needs to be seen too. It is probably best to them seperate them and get them neutred before they start fighting due to hormones etc
 
just had a fairly long convo with the vet he has had a wee and seems happy enough theyve told me to bring him in tomorrow ive cleaned the wound and made sure his cage is clean so ill keep tabs on him tonight and get him to the vets tomorrow ive got a very early appointment ill let you all know what happens thank you for your help
 
this happened to one of my buns, they really should learn which end to hump :roll::roll:

but now seriously, keep checking for swelling, my buns swelled up quite a bit, and try to keep it clean, and make sure he is still weeing, if you know where he wee's each time he does a wee, clean that bit out so you can keep checking if he was wee'd again, has you vet gave you any painkillers or antibiotics ?
