So we are new to rabbits. I mean we got our first rabbits last week.
Through out all the chaos of loading and switching cages and getting the 2 does bred at the guys house we were getting them from, I didn't notice one of the does has an injured back toe.
Once we were home getting everyone settled is when I saw the damaged toe.
It is on her right back foot. Looks like it is skinned.

Is there anything I can do? I have not really found much at all online to help.
Thanks
 
Looks like that foe is dead and will eventually fall off. It must have gotten stuck in somewhere or something like frostbite. It looks okay otherwise and should heal. The bunny will keep it clean.

I would keep an eye on it but I don't think it's anything to be too concerned with. If the bunny seems lethargic it may need antibiotics, but it looks like that has been there for some time already and is at the end of the healing process.
 
I had one break a toe--maybe be twisted it?--and lose the nail and part of her toe. As long as there is no infection, it heals and, as ugly as it looks to you, it is actually healing well from what I see. It is not really skinned but rather dead tissue that is going to come off soon.
 
The toe looks dead to me. As long as she isn't showing major signs of pain or infection, I would just let it dry up and fall off on its own.
 
Thanks everyone,
She is still acting fine and it is actually less red/pink and getting dry and flakey.
 
just make sure it is clean I got a rabbit who is five and he lost two toes when he was very young no ill effects
