You should used a clean towel or cotton leg quilt to apply pressure to the wound for 20-30 seconds then check it and see if it's quit bleeding, if not then reapply pressure and check every minute or so until it stops. If the blood is pulsing from a wound apply a compression bandage and call an equine vet immediately as an artery has been punctured.

If the bleeding doesn't stop within a few minutes of direct pressure being applied, or the wound is in a high-motion area such as on the leg or the face, you should call your veterinarian.

My 9-year old rabbit recently developed a red spot or growth over her eye and now there is blood dripping down her eye from the spot or growth what do I do without involving the vet?

A rabbit bleeding from the eye is in serious need of medical attention from a knowledgeable and experienced "rabbit-savvy" vet. If you can't afford the vet, you should surrender your rabbit to a local rescue group or shelter so the rabbit can get the help she needs. There is nothing you can do at home for a red spot or growth in the eye nor for a bleeding eye. See the related questions below for links and helpful info.


What do i do when i have a baby rabbit who's leg is bleeding?

If your rabbit's feet are bleeding it probably has a condition called sore hocks. The first thing you do is clean and dis -infect your rabbits cage. Then you need to get it off of the wire. This can be done by putting a nestbox or a sitting board in the cage for your rabbit. Some people will use a carpet square which is fine as long as your rabbit doesn't decide to eat it. Then you will have to pull it out and give it a sitting board.Cleaning the rabbits feet and putting Neosporin ointment or some other antibiotic cream on it's feet. One that doesn't taste good is preferrable as they will lick their feet.
