Answer 2

Okay, both answers you have been given are wrong. Im a rabbit breeder, and we deal with bites, and all that occasionally. Not very often, but we have had cases where we recieved a rabbit and it was in poor shape. First, How deep/long/severe of a cut?? You need to take some distilled water, and flush it out. If its swollen and abcessed, meaning theres pus, then you need to squeeze all the pus out. Then, like I said, depending on how deep, just some triple antibiotic ointment/neosporin should be fine. Make sure to put a good layer on it, but not enough to let the wound actually get air. But make sure enough to saturate. Do this probably 3 times daily or so. DO NOT put a band-aid on it. This does nothing for the wound except make the healing process slower, and could possibly harm the animal even more. Depending on where the cut is, a bandage wouldnt stay on it anyways, and in the process of the rabbit tryin to remove it, it would pull it's own fur, and cause more pain. If you have any questions email me, and please let me know how it is doing, and if you could please send me pics of the wound. Thanks!! [e-mail]

Answer 3

First Of All You Should Clean the Cut (with water i suggest) So it does not get infected then try and put a bandage over it

I did this to my rabbit as she has done this a million times

Hope This Helps!!!
