I went out last night and my husband was incharge of the animals! I left Finley my French Lop running around the house and Emily inside her nic-cube set up, which has a net roof over the top!
While my husband was upstairs he heard a crash and a splosh (bowl of water in Emilys set-up). He ran downstairs to find Finley in Emilys set-up, fur everywhere and the two of them full-on fighting.
He grabbed Finley and put him away and while cleaning up Emilys set-up he noticed quite a bit of blood. He discovered that a chunk of her ear had been bitten off. He kept part of it to show me. :roll:
He stopped the bleeding and stayed with her to check she was eating and boucning around ok. She was.
When I got home I weighed her and gave her some Septrin - it was the only medication I had at home. I am guessing she will need both antibiotics and painkiller. Waiting for the vets to open now.
Is there anything I should do to make sure the ear is kept clean?
There is no way the vet will be able to stitich her ear back together, so I was hoping that if I explained the situation to the vets they will let me buy the medications without seeing her. I don't like taking the poor girl to the vets because she has her major op in July and went through alot of treatment. She is happier at home than travelling in her carrier.
Will let you know what the vets say!
