No rabbits but will bump this to give others reply time @promiseacres @Ridgetop @Baymule

These and others are very bunny knowledgeable.

Do you know the cause? Was he bit or in that location I would suspect a tooth problem. Is he eating/drinking ok? I would clean daily with a gentle soap and water, then a OTC triple anticbiotic cream and a shot or two of penicillin.
Just my opinion I would not suspect it to be scabies unless there are other affected areas or bunnies. I believe Ivermectin will treat scabies. (They're a skin mite)

Hi ,i really dont know the cause as next to this bunnies cage their is a female who gave birth recently , also this Bunnies mom and her siblings none of them have scabies , maybe she bit the poor boy as she is a bit temperamental but on the contrary the wound day by day is increasing which leads me to suspect scabies , sadly i dont know how to inject but i am applying Fucidine ! What else should i do to cure it asap , if you have anything in mind do let me know .
Thanks !!

The wound doesn't look like scabies. Scabies is a skin mite. This looks like a staph infection. Is this the only kit with this type of sore? The scab itself looks like t s kind of oozy.

I would check the mother's teats since if this is contagious it will spread to her teats from nursing. Definitely give some antibiotics, and treat the sore by cleaning it and using an antibiotic cream on it.

If it is growing in size it is time to take the bunny to the vet.

I think a staph infection is a good guess.
