Bellatrix just jumped off my knee (I was on the floor) and hit her face on her hutch. There is some blood coming from her noes and I don't know what to do? She is hopping around now acting normal? Please help

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
And just a question about the vets. Bella gets scared in her pet carrier and is very calm in my arms. Is it inappropriate to carry her in?
Thanks all for stories, tips and advice. I took Bellatrix to the vets and she is totally fine. The vet said she just had a bust noes and can see no damage! She is eating, drinking, pooing, moving normally so I'm very relieved!
