It was later on last night when I was free ranging with the rabbits.
Cupcake decided to bite my dressing gown...and she wouldn't let go!
Next thing I know theres tons of blood spouting what looks like from under her chin, and Im trying to stay calm and try and see whats happened, and where the blood is pouring from.
She wont let me see underneath her chin, and theres blood on her nose, and all under her chin. She is white too so its a bit easier to see.
I rang the emergency vets and they said to bring her in, as if its under her chin its serious.
It takes us 20 minutes from my house to get there, luckily my dad drove and I had cupcake and benji on my knee trying to calm her down.
All I could think during the journey was that I was going to lose her
We got to the emergency vets and they took her in the back to clean her up and try and see the wound.
They came back through and said it was a mystery-they couldnt initially see where the wound was.
Turns out she had bitten inside of her cheek, about a 2/3cm gash, hence why there was so much blood dripping through, as the vet said there are lots of capillaries in the cheeks.
Luckily the vet that was on was rabbit savvy, and made a huge fuss of her and benji. She showed me the gash and said there might be a bit of light bleeding for 24 hours, and if it continues to take her back to my normal vets.
When cuppy got home they both had some cucumber which she loved, and started munching on hay straight away. My brave little girl has recovered quickly
Benjamin was so good in the car too, just stayed snuggled upto her the whole time, trying to groom her because there was so much blood dripping.
It cost me £150, and that was without treatment as they found out I already had got metacam.
Just before xmas aswell
But I would do it all over again if I needed to, my rabbits are my world and I love them to bits xxx
