A new rabbit my son just got has thin metal wire in her belly, as if she were cut open.

Question

It's freaky just thinking about it, let alone looking at the poor animalIt does not look professional, nor does it look normal. What do you think's going on?son just got has thin metal wire in its belly, almostcut her open, and some individual just shoved in there to close up the wound.

Answer 1

Is she spayed?

VETERINARIANS use (sterile) wire to close the spay incision site because rabbits easily clip traditional stitches with their teeth.

Also, if the rabbit was ever injured to the point of needing stitches, the vet would use wire if the wound was reachable by bunny teeth.

If you can see and feel it, consider going to the vet and having it removed.  It may cause health problems later.

Answer 2

That does sound VERY odd.....personal advice take her to the vet ASAP.    It could very well be tht she cute herself & the person who had her before took it upon himself to just try to home remedy her & close her up himself but that is WAY wrong & Im sure not very sterile....take her to the vet please.

Is this an older rabbit?? Im not sure the circumstances or conditions she came from but there have been cases of people smuggling drugs inside animals, tho a rabbit is kinda of small for this you never can tell.???

Answer 3

where did he get the rabbit from . A  store ,a lab raid ,or from an adoption ?

  I didnt seem to understand the question at first  It could be staples from a surgery that were not removed ,but either way . take animal to vet

Answer 4

Was she spayed?
