If your rabbit is bit by another animal, that's a serious problem and you should bring the rabbit to your vet. An animal bite can transmit disease to a rabbit, or the bacteria in the bite can lead to infection and an abscess, or the rabbit can lose so much blood that it dies. See the related questions below for info and helpful links.
If:
- you can't stop the wound from bleeding, or
- the wound is gushing blood, or
- the skin has stretched and the wound is huge, or
- the rabbit is unresponsive,
your rabbit needs immediate care: do not delay or else your rabbit will probably die! If your normal vet's is closed, bring your rabbit to the nearest 24/7 emergency vet hospital now!
If your normal vet's is closed, and the bleeding is under control, and your rabbit seems okay (is eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, moving around, responding to your voice and touch), you should administer first aid and bring the rabbit to the vet's in the morning. First aid: (1) flush the wound with diluted povidone iodine; (2) flush the wound with luke-warm water; (3) apply a non-stick sterile gauze bandage to the wound; (4) secure the gauze by wrapping the area with a self-adhering bandage wrap. If you don't have the povidone iodine, just flush with warm water.
