    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Swollen genitals

Hugo's There

Wise Old Thumper
Besides myxi and syphilis what could it indicate?

I have never seen either before but am pretty convinced it doesn't look like syphilis and can't find any other symptoms which would indicate myxi :?

There is a thick creamy discharge round his penis, I know his glands look really blocked so could be from that. I don't really want to clean him up properly until he has seen the vet tomorrow just in case.

I am taking every possible precaution and he is away from my own bunnies
 
Is it his penis that's swollen or his plums?
If the former then an infection under the foreskin is possible. This can occur in Bucks with bladder sludge as my poor Nomad found out :cry:
 
Testicals are fine, just his penis.

I was wondering (and hoping)if it could be an infection fom laying on a permanently soaking hutch :?
 
If he has had an opportunity to be 'vigorous' with something/someone/somebun then that might also irritate the penis.
