Rabbit bite what to do?

My bunny just nipped me on the chin but broke skin in 2 places. do i need a rabbies shot or tetnas one

I am so sure that my rabbit is evil (lol). I was taking it for a walk and when I tried to pick it up it lunged at me and took a chunk out of my finger. Hurt like nothing else. I just cleaned it real well with antiseptic and washed my hands heaps. Put on a plaster. Healed up ok.

You could have a shower and wash your chin really well or you could get one of those antiseptic wipes that come in the first aid kits and give your chin a clean with that. If you dont feel too self-conscious, you could put a plaster on it. If that is going to be a problem, go to the chemist or the supermarket and get the liquid plaster stuff that you just put on and it dries clear. Otherwise you could just let the cut dry out and heal naturally.

I live in NZ so there is no rabies over here. Even if you did live somewhere with rabies, I don't think it is very likely that your pet rabbit will have rabies. Unless, of course, it has been exposed to something with rabies.

You can't get tetanus from the actual rabbit bite, but you can get it by coming in contact with dirty soil or just about anything that might come in contact with that open wound.

I'm sure that you will be fine, but if something happens to the cut or you are worried, go and see your doctor.

Good Luck!! :-)

go to a doctor

if rabbits have rabies, im not sure if they bite
i think only meat eating animals like bats, dogs, and cats bite

but im not sure

I would say that if you're really that scared about the bite just use some alcohol or peroxide (something to that effect) to clean the area. However rabbits tend to nip people when they either want something, don't like something or if you are in their way. Do NOT listen to Maizy! if you ever hit your rabbit they can become very aggressive as they don't like to be hit( i think you wouldn't either).

P.S. Maizy wanted to free domesticated rabbits into the wild! and says that they are disgusting animals and asked if they were like pigs!!!

put some cream on it-she probly smelled something or she wanted to go--
good luck

No your rabbit has not been subjected to rabies in a cage, that is weird because rabbits don't usually bite. I would pop him on the nose if he does it again.

go c ur doctor
