My rabbit's neck seems injured for 2 days. What should I do?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If you believe that Boston Bunnelby may have been injured by his cage, I recommend bringing him to your veterinarian. He/she can perform a full physical exam and look for evidence of soft tissue or skeletal injury and treat accordingly, if needed. If he is otherwise moving around as usual and acting normally (eating, drinking, urinating, defecating) normally, I would not be concerned. I hope this is helpful!

It sounds as if this bunny has a very serious injury and is in critical condition. I would recommend taking it to a veterinarian as soon as possible so it can get appropriate treatment. This does not sound like an injury you can treat at home. Even if you are not able to afford its care I’m sure any vet’s office would be willing to see if they can help it if you are willing to relinquish it. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. It does not look infected to me, and it looks like it’s healing. I’d keep an eye on it for now. If you see swelling, warmth to the touch, extreme redness, and pus, have him seen by a vet. Should it not get better or gets bigger, also have him seen by a vet. Keep the area clean and dry. I hope this helps.

Have her rechecked by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits. Her ears should be examined to diagnose infection or tumors/polyps which may cause the head tilt. Cervical xrays may be indicated to diagnose orthopedic injury or deformation.

1) Never ever let this person near your bunny again! 2) if your bunny eats, drinks, hops around without any signs of discomfort, then he likely is ok. 3) Should he have a swelling around or on the neck, walk or hop funny or otherwise appear "off", he needs to be seen by a veterinarian. This would indicate some injury or at least pain and your vet can prescribe pain medicine. 4) Nobody but you and a veterinarian is allowed to pick up your bunny!

Thanks for reaching out about Poo-ah and including a photo. By the picture and position of Poo-ah's body a back injury is concerning. A veterinary visit is recommended this evening, as back traumas are more difficult to recover from, the longer you wait. The position of his neck/head, lend to believe this is painful. Seek an emergency visit this evening, for best outcome. Good luck.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Twitching in bunnies is usually either due to pain, or can be due to seizures, or severe metabolic disturbances. I recommend that you take Bun Bun to a vet. It doesn't sound like something simple that can be easily fixed at home. One option is to get "Critical Care" food, and feed this with a syringe, however this won't help with pain, toxins, or seizures. Best of luck with Bun Bun.
