i'm sorry it might die or take it to the vet it might have to have surgery hope he or she lives!

Like any animal, when a rabbit's been shot it needs to see a vet. If any internal organs were damaged by the pellets (or bullet), then the rabbit will not survive without seeing a vet (the rabbit may die no matter what, though). Even if the pellets are just lodged in skin or fat, they need to be removed. Even if the injury is minimal, pain management is extremely important with rabbits and, no matter what is causing their illness or injury, if they don't get pain medication, they're at great risk of death. Bring the rabbit to a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits, because cats and dogs are very different from rabbits, and cat/dog treatments can sometimes kill rabbits, but not all vets know this. See the related question below for more help about rabbit vets.

The most you can do for the rabbit at home is keep it in a comfortable, quiet, secluded spot so the rabbit at least feels safe. Keep young children, other animals, and loud noises away from the area. If the rabbit is wild, it's better to choose a spot outside, because wild rabbits won't feel safe indoors. You can put the rabbit in a cardboard box, with two small holes cut in the sides. Rabbits feel most safe when they have two possible exits. Give the rabbit plenty of hay, some water, and some fresh leafy greens.

What would you give a dog to make them pass sytrofoam if they have eaten it?

You need to take the dog to a vet. If it has not been too long, they can give the dog a shot to make it vomit. They have a charcoal mixture they can use to help with any poisons the dog ate and does not vomit.


How can you help a constipated rabbit?

For rabbit constipation there is a solution but you MUST be careful. Lettuce in large amounts can give rabbits diarrhea which may lead to death. However, if you are careful to give your rabbit a small amount of fresh lettuce (NOT ICEBERG) every day or so along with it's everyday fresh mixed greens, your bun should be back to normal in no time. But again, please be careful. Their systems are so delicate.


Do rabbits give diseases to horses?

There are no known viral or bacterial diseases that can be transferred from a rabbit to a human. The only thing I can think of that can be shared between a human and rabbit is ringworm fungus infection, but usually humans give it to rabbits. Rabies can be found on rabbits. In fact, the first rabies vaccine in the world is developed using infected rabbit brains. But the posibility of carrying the disease is very low for rabbits.(Although I took a shot of rabies vaccine myself after a rabbit bite when I was young...)

What is a viral infection in a rabbit?

A viral infection in a rabbit is like a viral infection in any animal: it's when the rabbit gets sick from a virus. Pet rabbit owners should learn about what viruses might affect their rabbits, and how they can protect them (sometimes with a shot, sometimes just by knowing the signs of a sick rabbit and knowing where and when to seek help). See the related questions below for more help. Some viruses that affect rabbits include: Herpes Shope papillomavirus Myxomatosis Rabies VHD
