  hi all,
  
  my bunny was just bitten by another rabbit, and took some skin off. I think her mouth might also be swollen but not too sure… I rinsed the wound off with some water, but not sure if I should do anything else. Any tips would be much appreciated!

  I am not sure if that will need additional treatment but I did want to say that at some point if you decide to put an antibacterial ointment on it, it has to be WITHOUT pain killers. The lydocaine that’s used as a pain killer in those can stop their hearts.
  
  The wound doesn’t look too awful luckily and that’s a cute rabbit!

  The wound doesn’t look horrible in the picture, but it’s hard to tell. How deep is it? Was it just the top layers of skin? Or is it more like a puncture?

  Aaw, your bun is ridiculously cute! My bun hurt her mouth by accident a while back (she was trying to jump onto the bed, but mistimed it), and I didn’t have to do anything to help heal it. It healed on it’s own, and pretty fast. It’s only a small cut, so I don’t think it looks too serious, but I would monitor her just to be sure ♥
