Mama Doe
I put Daisy in the run with Bertie,shes a fully intact doe,iv just took her out and her bums got blood on it is this normal???its shcoked me as Bertie nearly killed his brother back in novemeber and now this is putting me off???any advise??? :shock: :(
 
Nope, not normal. You need to give her a good check over and work out where it's from... a bite wound/scratch/broken toe nail.

Poor thing. Give her a proper check over and fine out where its coming from, its prob nothing so don't panic. I am sure if it was a fight there would be some fur flying!
 
If the blood is actually coming from her 'girlie bits' you need to take her to your vet TODAY. As she is an entire Doe there are womb problems that can develop. These need immediate veterinary attention. The blood may just be coming from a torn nail. These bleed LOTS and always look worse than they are. Try not to panic. Check your Bun over and if you cannot find where the blood is coming from I would take her to your Vet today just to be on the safe side. Jane and Buns xx
 
i had a shock like this with the sheep i had. one ewe had loads of blood all over her bum. we caught her washed her off i sheared the fleece away and found nothing at all.
then i tipped the ram up, he had cut his penis badly and it was his blood all over the place. so if you cant find anything with your girlie, check everyone else! the blood might not be hers.
hopr this helps a bit, good luck!
 
he was fine! sheep heal quickly fortunately! he had a shot of antibiotics to be on the safe side. it didnt bother him in the slightest as he was still tring to cover the ewes, hence the blood being where it was!
sheep taught me alot about finding injuries, the blood always seems to belong to someone else! another time my favourite ewe came up for a nose scratch and he hole face was red with blood! i thought she had been savaged, turns out she had been playing with a little wether lamb who had weak horns and one broke off! it looked like the texas chainsaw masacre!
it never seems to bother them though.
 
Right i panicked and went straight to the vets,being as she was bleeding,shes very badly bruised and has two small nicks,she was given a nice clean up and antibiotics and a painkiller injection, :shock: Thats twice now that bertie has hurt another bunny i only put them in the run for 10 mins!!!!! :shock: :( She was crying in the vets kept making squeeky noises :cry: Im so relieved shes ok!!
Its surprising how fond you get of a bunny i only rescued her from a woman about 3 weeks ago,shes so lovely and im keeping her now.

Phew, thats a relief!! :D When I lived in Shetland I was PERMANENTLY surrounded by sheep. A damn sight better than here in London where I am surrounded by BLOODY PEOPLE!! :roll: :x :roll: Jane and Buns xx
 
aww poor thing!
at least you know she's ok now.

jane, the sheep i had were shetland sheep! well shetland crossed with gotland, the naughtiest sheep in the whole world!
people are'nt nearly as much fun and they dont ping around in the grass either!
 
i'm glad everything turned out ok in the end.

poor little thing must have been scared if she was crying.

i'm sure that now she is home she is very happy (and i'm sure you are spoiling her with her favourite treats!).

i think you might need to sit down with your little man and explain the birds and the bunnies to him and how he has to play nicely with the girlybuns.

I think a more gradual introduction when she is healed might be good - supervised dating!!
 
it sounds like what happened to touie's rabbit Amy - it's a difficult place to heal up and she's not recovering well - hope she's OK!

I wouldn't bother trying to bond them - I've got 3 single rabbits and judging by the way they binky and bounce around, they are happy alone as much as they are bonded. My boy refuses to accept any of my girls, so I've given up with him!
 
She seems ok in herself,shes eating iv kept her indoors,shes still very sore and will squeek if you stroke her,Il take a piccy of her soon,I really dont no why Berties like this he used to be so nice with his brother,until one day he snapped,and i nearly lost Liquorice over this,he was tron from his top to his bits(without being crude)He was in the vets for 2 week!So i thought aw well its brothers and they do this but i really didnt expect him to behave in this manner with a female,they were in together for less than 10 mins while i was semi watching while cooking the kids there dinners.
Theyw ere chasing each other and the usual stuff :roll: then i came over to see and saw blood :shock: I took bertie out and couldnt find any think on him,then when i took the girl out she was squeeking :( and her bum red!! :shock:
Its surprising how much damage a bun can do!!!
