Wise Old Thumper
Just come back from my vet (myxi jabs) and he was a little concerned about Flora's enlarged mammaries. She was neutered by the RSPCA as a youngster in 2003 and she's now aged 5. Almost as soon as I adopted her (end April this year) she came home and started nesting. I've never experienced a neutered doe nesting before but I'm told it can occasionally happen. However, given that it's now nearly the end of June, she still has enlarged boobies - all of them (so it's not a tumor on one boob). The vet was slightly concerned that she may have had some ovary tissue left behind at the time of the spay but he said rooting around inside to try to find something would probably cause more problems (specifically to her gut) than it would in leaving the tissue behind. Mammary tumours are supposedly rare in bunnies but obviously, if there is ovarian tissue floating around inside her, then the risk is increased.
Does anyone else have any experience of this?
