Hey Everyone
I'm looking for some advice!
I have a 5 year old French Lop who is a house rabbit when I got up this morning their was blood all over the tiles on the floor, I immediately picked him up and their wasa slight weep from his rear left leg. I phoned the vets and went straight their they cleaned him up but the bleeding got worse and the vet had real trouble stopping it. In the end she placed a gauze on the wound and wrapped his leg in get wrap and said leave this on for a couple of days to let it clot.
He has done this before however it was not as bad and by the time I got to him the bleeding had stopped the vet advised because theirs not a lot of flesh on their feet it's easy broken if pulled at.
She also advised it may have been an artery that he caught because of the amount it was bleeding. Since we brought him home at 2 he hasn't really eaten any pellets only a very small amount if any however he has eaten a carrot and the greens from the top of the carrot could he be just off his food after a stressful day?
Also will his foot clot underneath the bandage in a couple of days? And lastly has anyone else experienced this problem?
I appreciate any responses!
