:cry: :cry: :cry: well, what else can I say? :cry: the latest fight between Gypsy and Storm has resulted in Gypsys eye being torn :cry: :cry: it looks like the top, just above the eye has been ripped and it's all swollen up :cry: I really can not take any more and have decided I am a very bad bunny mum :cry: I am in tears and don't know what to do :cry: I have booked her in to see the vets at 2.00. I'm so scared that there might be damage to her eye :( it's all red around the outside and swollen. My poor little girl :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
thanks guys :cry: :cry: :cry: I'm worried Gypsys eye might abcess :( I hope 2.00 is going to be soon enough. The fight happened at around 1.30 this morning :cry:
 
Awww your not a bad bunny mum XXXX Scooter has a rip in his eyelid from a fight him and dash had last year! It looked very sore but was ok and it healed up well he has scare but no damage to his eye XX Sending healing vibes for Gypsey XXXX
 
You are in no way a bad bunny mummy!! You had no idea anything like this would happen.
Poor Gypsy :( I hope all goes well at the vets!
 
Oh dear :(

Can you try to bathe her eye with just pre-boiled cooled water. But if she is very stressed I would leave it alone til she has seen the Vet.
Hope its not too seroius.
Sending healing vibes for Gypsy

thanks everyone. Jane, she doesn't seem stressed,just very quiet but it looks so very sore, I'm scared I might hurt her :cry:
They both have scratches and bite marks under their fur :( non of them seem very deep and are healing ok. storm has a bite on his ear :cry:
They are both just sitting quietly 2 feet away from each other.
I don't know if they will ever like each other again :cry: and I don't know how to start rebonding them :(
Phill. what did the vets do when your bunny had a ripped eye lid? and did your bunnies ever like each other again?
 
Oh no, I'm so sorry things don't seem to be settling down :cry: Maybe it's worth trying them somewhere totally neutral territory (or will this possibly make it worse - I just wonder if they are still fighting in the room because at the moment they still associate it with the presence of the other little fellow) or putting them in a carrier together and taking them for a car ride. What does everyone else think, I really don't know what to suggest for the best :?

i would say move there soemwhere else for the moment are they both neutered? you could always bring them here for a bonding holiday rainbow :D
 
I was going to put them in the outside run in the garden but some one has bloody knicked it!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :x :x :cry: :cry: this also may have been usefull for putting one of them in while in my room. I probably would have taken it in turns to put one in the pen and one free range and then swaped them over so neither of them has more room all the time. :?
The car ride might work, but Storm appeirs to have out grown the carrier :shock: :? I KNEW I should have got a pet stroller :shock: :? :lol: they could have come with me for a nice long walk and bus ride to see " uncle Dave," :lol: ( while the men in white coats wait for me :shock: )
I will try to bring them both down stairs to the living room and shut the cats outside and see what happens. They are quiet now so I won't disturb them. Maybe after Gypsy has come back from the vets.

Yes, they are both neautered and have never ever showed any aggression or had a fight in their lives. If everything else fails I may have to take you up on that bonding holiday idea eve :shock: :D knowing my luck they would ond on their way to yours and be perfectly ok when I arrive :?
