My rabbit was attacked and is skinny with sores. What can I do?

Question

I have a rabbit that has been attacked by three other rabbits and a chicken. he is covered in sores and missing a lot of hair and is also extremely skinny. the sores are all scabbed over and I have dabbed the wounds with a salt water solution of 1tsp salt to 1cup of boiled water. he is eating and drinking water. but he isn't very young. is there anything else I can do to help this rabbit?. thank you for your time.

Yes, you can tale him to the vet in order to get treated with antibiotics and pain killers, make sure you separate him permanently from the rest. if he is very skinny it's likely he is suffering from a disease in the background as well which might have been the trigger for the attack.
