I don't know if she is spayed or not, as she was an adult rabbit when I got her so I can't tell.
Please no stupid answers. She isn't pregnant (she is with a female guinea pig), or nursing, and she is a much loved family pet so only serious answers thanks.
Answers:
It's possible that it is a tumour.does it seem like it hurts her when you touch it? If it does, I'd say it's more probable to be an abcess. It also could be that she got bitten by something.do you tend to have spider problems in your house? The only way to know for sure is to take her to the vet. If it is a mammary tumour, he'll probably give you some type of topical cream to put on it daily.this will keep it from swelling and becoming painful, and can help to shrink it down.
Possibly cancer. My dog got a lump on his underside and it was cancer. Take her to the vet to get it checked out.
bruzed, cancer, infected, non cancerous growth.
It oculd be a cyst or it could actually be breast cancer. It's more common in rats, but rabbits can get the cancer as well. Just to be safe, take her to the vet and have it looked at. If you're lucky it'll just be a cyst (fluid filled lump) and might only need to be drained.
Good luck!
could be a cyst,,have it checked out.
If the lump grows you should visit a vet.
It could be anything. Best thing is to take her to a vet. Don't start worrying till you need to but whatever you do don't delay. All the best. xxx.
Is the lump hard or soft? It is probably just a cyst (rabbits tend to get them) so you're not going to like what i'm about to tell you to do, but it's necessary. take a sharp, clean razor blade and make a small cut where the lump is. this should not hurt your bunny and actually, it will probably make her feel better. the lump should "pop" like a giant pimple or ooze out puss. clean the area really good and put some neosporin where you made the cut. it should clear up in a few days.
Older animals sometimes develop tumors. This is something that a vet would need to examine in order to determine whether the tumor is a cancer (either malignant [bad] or benign [harmless]) or another growth. I had an older lab who developed a large lump on her chest. It turned out not to be a cancerous growth, but rather a fatty deposit that had built up under her skin. The deposit is not dangerous or life threatening, just slightly alarming to look at. She has it to this day. It kind of looks like she swallowed a golf ball.
My suggestion would be to take the rabbit to a vet if you are really concerned. He / she is should be able to tell you whether the lump poses a health risk.
my poor little bunny had a lump nr her leg it turned out to be cancer and she died during an anastetic we left it quite a while before going to a vet becauese we were scared i guess. I suggest u take her to a vet as soon as you can cos things r easier treat if u act fast. she had i believe mamory cancer which is to do with someting that carries the milk to her breasts so it may b that good luck and i hope she is ok .
Cancer. It's going to die. Eat it.
Just taken my dog to vets a day ago was a cyst just get it checked out (peace of mind) Good luck.
with my dog it turned out to be cancer to but we caught it in time hopefully a trip to the vet will solve everything and it will turn out to be nothing but a cyst doesn't it just crush you when something like this happens and kids do worry good luck i hope everything will be OK
either cancer or a tumor. my pet rat has one too. and it has gotten larger and multiplied into two now. her energy level has dropped conciderably and she will die any day now but has survived with it for over two months. rabbits are simular so it is probablly the same thing. this can be removed surgically.
This is normal and it probably is just a sisk. if it don't go away and still don't get bigger don't worry
My dog had a tumor in the same area. It was removed and found to be cancer free. She has now developed more.
i would ask your vet; it could just be a cyst, or maybe she has hurt herself and its infected, but it could also be a malignancy, so she needs an expert. Good luck- bunnies are nice people.
It could be many things. Is the spot hot? If it is is could just be an abcess. If it is then you can try to lance it yourself (open the wound), then clean it with nolvasan diluted to a light blue (can find it at a feed store) and put some kind of antiseptic on it (such as neosporin). You could also find a vet to do this if you do not feel comfortable doing it or don't feel qualified.
If it is a tumor that you can see on the outside you can tie a tight string around it and in a few days it will fall off, again the vet is a another choice if you do not feel comfortable.
Third if it is a hard painful lump under the skin it could be cancer and she should either be taken to the vet and treated, put to sleep, or kept comfortable as long as possible.
Most important make her happy
You really shouldn't house the rabbit with the guinea pig. They both have different nutritional requirements. Also the rabbit could very easily smother the piggie.
This could be a tumor or cancer but lumps can also be a sign of myxomatosis. Check her carefully, if she has signs of swelling around the head or genitals, problems with her eyes, very thirsty or going off her food, take her to the vets Immediately!! In best case scenarios rabbits with myxomatosis live 13 days, so please get her checked as soon as possible!
she might have just knocked it or hit it on somthing while hopping around maybe hope it and heals and hope i helped
Some times when small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters get older, they get lumps and bumps. I have a guinea pig that had a lump on her tummy, called a 'jelly bean'.
It is about the size of a jelly bean, and should not hurt when you put light pressure on it or touch it. It should also stay the same size, if the size changes it could be something more serious, a cyst, perhaps.
