I am freaking out right now! Last night we bought home a new bun called Lola. She's tiny tiny only about 10 weeks old. She was a wild baby found at about 4 weeks and hand reared.
We already have a female bun called Delta.
Delta was out of her cage and Lola got out and Delta has attacked her badly.
This is the injury baby Lola has got she doesn't even seem fazed but i think it's bad. Does it need vet treatment or will it heal on its own???

It does look a bit sore, I'd be tempted to take her to the vets to be checked over. An open wound could attract flies in this weather. Good luck!
 
yes she needs to go the vet today.
animal bites are full of bacteria and that is a very large area on such a small animal. also please bear in mind rabbits are prey animals so try their very best to hide pain .
 
Have got an appointment in an hour
Cant believe ive had her less than 24 hours and shes already hurt. Feel awful especially as she's so tiny!!
 
It is a big chunk :( Hopefully it is not too deep and will heal up well with antibiotics and treatment.
 
That looks just like the wound Pepper had after he fell out with Tango, the skin is really thin so just tears. Pepper's is now nearly healed, he had antibiotics. Hope it goes well at the vets 😊
 
How much loxicom (painkiller) should I give to her. The vet said I should give her some but I didn't ask how much and now he's busy.
She only weighs 0.6 kg
