Nose Bite

[RabbitChewToy]

Hey,

My rabbit was attacked by another rabbit through the bars of her cage. She has an injury to her nose that does not bother her and is not infected. But I worry if maybe she needs a stitch? To pull the two sides of her wound together?

Would I be causing her more pain for something purely cosmetic?

Thoughts....

It looks good to me, and I'd leave it the way it is.

But I'm one of the many members who don't take our rabbits to the vet... if that's something you do, you certainly could take her and see if a stitch or two would ensure that it heals together.

I think it'll be fine if you do nothing, though.

A dab on New Skin (basically super glue) may help. That's what my vet suggested when my dog cut her nose. It worked.

 

[Miss M]

Yes, forgot super glue! Now that the wound is scabbed, it may not close, but the super glue might do it.

Super glue (or stitches) will only help when a wound is fresh.

It looks like it is healing very well, so I would leave it alone.

Nice deep blue color on that Rex, by the way.
