  So I had a child help me brush my bunny with the hair buster comb supervised but I did turn away for a moment and i found a spot on my bunny back that’s missing a lot of hair and upon closer look her skin is red and raw obviously she was brushed too hard and pulled her hair out of her skin. I’m sure it was painful and I’m not sure if she is still in pain she is acting normal honestly I’m surprised she eating normally as well
  
  my concern is if she will heal from this?
  I’ve never had this happened so I’m not sure what steps I need to take?

  Your bun will definitely heal from this.
  
  It might take a while for the hair to grow out in the spot, how quickly it fills in will depend on where in the hair growth cycle she is atm. Rabbit hair grows in cycles, not continuously like human hair.
  
  I don’t think you have to do anything about the red skin, the redness will subside. Maybe give her a nice little treato, if she gets treats. Buns like people who give them treats 🙂

  It should be OK as long as it was just fur that was pulled out and not actual skin. A little redness probably isn’t anything to worry about.
