My four rabbits were due to go to Fat Fluffs this afternoon for bonding. However when I was grooming them and getting them ready for their trip I discovered a wound on the right side of Holly’s neck
The wound is about 1.5 cm long and 0.75 wide. A scab has already formed and there feels like there is puss underneath the skin. The vet thought that it was a fairly new wound as there was still bruising showing. She said that the wound wasn’t a rabbit abscess as they are normally solid. The vet has prescribed Baytril x 1ml per day for 7 days. The vet has advised that I clean it with warm salted water each day. Holly is eating and pooing as normal.
I don’t understand what caused the wound. It is in an usual place for it to be bite wound inflicted by her partner Jasper and I can’t find anything sharp in hutch or run. I’m also concerned that I didn’t notice the wound sooner as I check them daily and put them in their run each day.
I tried to take a photo but I couldn’t get a clear picture.
Any advice would be appreciated
