Just had to do an emergency dash to the vet!!!!
my 4 rabbits were free ranging in the garden this evening, when i noticed 2 of them were having a bit of a scuffel, thay all ran back in there shed so i shut them back in, a bit later on i heard some noise so i went out to check them i noticed my little black lop hattie had a really bad tear on her ear.
Thay had all calmed down and were all eating together i phoned the vet and took her straight down, the vet gave her metacam and baytril and she's got to go in tommorow for an op to stitch it up!!!
The vet suggested keeping her in tonight as 'blood may make the others go funny' i however think she's best left outside with the others to protect the bond and keep her stress level's low. its not unusual for them to have a scuffle when there free ranging and there all ok now, the mum (one of the 4) has been licking it.
Do you think i've done the right thing leaving her outside, also how could this happen? the vet said it looks like its been ripped not bitten.
How stressfull can being a bunny mummy be!!!!!!
