rabbit bite to one year old.

our house rabbit just chewed my one year olds finger. 5 or 6 bites, plenty of blood. Washed under running water until she wiggled too much to hold, then held clean dry rag on finger until bleeding stopped. She is asleep now and the wounds are oozing a clear liquid I presume lymph as part of the healing process.

should I take her to the doctor or just keep an eye out for infection? She has had three tetanus Jabs so far.

Why 3 tetanus jabs? Has the rabbit done this before?
Poor little baby :(

3 tetanus Jabs as part of standard vaccinationS. Rabbit not bitten her before surprisingly. He wasn't being aggressive - I think he assumed it was food she was sticking through the bars,
