My two-week old bunny was dropped from a height of about 4 feet!?! His nose bled a little, and there is a little bit of blood around his eye, but now it stopped. He is sitting in the corner of a cardboard box, not doing much. Do you all have any suggestions?!? I'm really worried about him!
 
Kits can be bouncy, but if they were bleeding from their nose and stuff then there's probably a change that something on ehe inside was broken
 
it could have been a blood vessel that broke.
Is he weaving or sitting unbalanced?
Kits at that age still very much need to be warm, and sibling warmth is generally best.

My advice is to give him a thorough check over. See if he moves unbalanced (more so that kits normally are at that age) but put him back in the nest. he'll either recover or he won't. Surgery for a head injury isn't worth the risk of simply dying from anesthetic. so either he'll get better or he won't. But there's really not much else you can do.
