I was clipping Sophie's hair around her bottom yesterday as she's a lionhead and had a dental last week so has been leaving some caecatroths . I've been looking after buns for 10 years and have always clipped messy bottoms and never done anything like this. But as I did it yesterday as she kicked out I caught her at the side of where she wee's andthough it didn't bleed, I could see it bleeding under the skin and starting to swell I cleaned it with warm salt water then phoned the vet who were just closing but said to bring her down as the duty vet hadn't left yet.
He wasn't the usual rabbit vet but in an emergency any vet Will do. He said it didn't need stitches and was a clean cut (god I feel awful) and would heal itself. I asked him to give her an injection of vetergesic. He also gave her an injection of antibiotics which last 36 hours. He said to keep bathing it in salt water and continue the metacam she was on after her dental and if its still swollen by Tuesday, to bring her back for another injection.
I feel awful and cried all day yesterday my poor little Sophie.
Does anyone know if I can put some cream on? Like Sudocrem? I'm just about to bath her and was thinking this May help? I'm also having to syringe feed her as she's not eating much on her own.
