COMMON RABBIT INJURIES TO WATCH OUT FOR…
Our sweet bunnies can suffer from all sorts of injuries, despite everything we try to do to keep them safe. In the next few days, we are going to share some information regarding the most common injuries.
▶️EXTERNAL INJURIES - are often caused from mishaps with objects indoors or out*. Seeing blood is often the first sign of an external injury. However, some wounds can be small and not real obvious. IF YOUR RABBIT IS BLEEDING, APPLY PRESSURE ON THE WOUND WITH A CLEAN TOWEL AND CALL YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY TO ASK FOR ADVICE.
-You should get in the habit of checking your bunny over regularly from head to toe for any signs of injury. Injuries from a sharp object can include puncture wounds, deep scratches, eye injuries, etc.
-Another common external injury seen in house rabbits are ELECTRICAL BURNS. Most rabbits love “spicy hay” and will chew through cables and wires! It’s important to bunny proof your home before you allow your rabbits to roam free. Keep all wires & cables out of their reach! There are numerous “cord covers” available & you should visit your local home store to see the one that will work best for you.
-External wounds can quickly become infected and may need antibiotics. Take your rabbit to see your vet as soon as possible for appropriate treatment. They may also need anti-inflammatory medications and pain relief.
*We don’t recommend outdoor time unless you are with them 100% of the time and they have had their RHDV2 vaccinations.
