Hey everyone,
Earlier this afternoon, two of our bunnies Bocchi and Soot got into a fight with eachother. Both are fairly aggressive towards eachother and were separating our yard up tomorrow to hopefully stop any fighting between them.
In today's fight though, Soot's managed to tear into Bocchi's ear and there is now a massive chunk missing from the poor thing. I feel awful for him and was just wondering I there was anything I could do right now, as we aren't able to get him to a vet. He seems content and is letting us touch him and around the area, but I'm sure it's still really painful for him.
Thanks in advance
 
If it can't be stitched to fix the damaged ear (by the vet), the primary concerns would be stopping the initial bleeding, then making sure that it doesn't become infected, and that your rabbit isn't experiencing pain to the point of not eating well. If either happens, your rabbit needs to be checked by a knowledgeable rabbit vet.

If you haven't already, I would also recommend making the necessary changes to your rabbits living environment, to ensure they can't have direct contact with each other again. Otherwise the risk could be much more than a torn ear happening. Rabbits that get into full out fights, are capable of killing each other.
