  Hey!
  
  My rabbit had his molar spurs trimmed a little over a week ago. The vet gave him a pain medicine injection on his back. Now there is a scab there, it’s about 1,5-2cm big. It’s hard and dry, the skin around doesn’t seem irritated. I noticed that the site was swollen after the injection but the swelling went away quickly. Now there’s only the scab. He doesn’t seem to be bothered by it, it’s also in a spot where he can’t scratch himself so it can’t get irritated.
  
  Are these normal or have your bunnies had these scabs after injections? I’ve heard that scabs are quite normal after vaccinations but I haven’t read anything about other injection scabs..
  
  Should I put some type of cream on the scab to help it heal quicker?

  My bunny was neutered and had to have a pain injection and IV fluids and he does not have a scab the thing about them is it can take nothing for them to get an infection on the skin so you need to contact the vet immediately and tell them because it can get infected and it can be very very serious

  I don’t think you need to do anything if the scab looks good. It will heal and then fall off. If you are worried, you could call your vet and ask.
