1) Never ever let this person near your bunny again! 2) if your bunny eats, drinks, hops around without any signs of discomfort, then he likely is ok. 3) Should he have a swelling around or on the neck, walk or hop funny or otherwise appear "off", he needs to be seen by a veterinarian. This would indicate some injury or at least pain and your vet can prescribe pain medicine. 4) Nobody but you and a veterinarian is allowed to pick up your bunny!
