Hi XXXXX,
I just got up and saw your post - is the ear still bleeding? What caused it to bleed?
You need to hold the rabbit still and apply firm pressure to the part that is bleeding for several minutes, using a small towel. You can also apply an ice pack to the ear - COLD will make the blood vessels smaller and stop the bleeding. Warm water baths will make it bleed more.
Please let me know if she is still bleeding?!
