i'm sorry you didn't get a timely response. we try to get to all questions as soon as possible. i hope you'll respond and let us know how things turned out. in general whenever a child is bitten by an animal it's cause for concern. animals' mouths can harbor a lot of bad bacteria and children may be more susceptible to infections because their immune systems may not be fully developed. one thing to take into account in the future should this happen is whether or not the animal is wild or domesticated. for instance if your child is bitten in the woods by a wild rabbit or squirrel or something like that then you should seek immediate medical attention. if your child is bitten by the neighbor's 10-year-old housecat which you know has all its current vaccinations then you may be able to simply wash the wound and take your child to the doctor the next morning. i hope everything worked out well and that your daughter isn't too traumatized by her bunny bite!
my daughter was bitten by a bunny. is immediate medical attention necessary or can i bring her to her dr in the am?
