My dwarf rabbit is nearly 13 years old, and today I was trying to remove a clump of feces stuck to his tail. Because of his old age, his weak legs and the fact that he always sits in the same area of the hutch, he often doesnt bother to move after he's done the toilet, sometimes even sleeping on them (regular cleaning just reduced this problem but never really stopped it).
To cut a long story short, we had a quick check around the whole region to make sure there was no more stuck, and I noticed a sort of speckled brown pattern on his testicles. I was just wondering what this could be, and if I knew what it was, how to treat it? I have read that un-neutered rabbits can develop testicular cancer, so i'm quite concerned about this especially at his age. I cannot find any sort of article that describes the appearance of it or the symptoms. I do not think there are any lumps either, they appear smooth.
He is generally quite healthy, bar normal age related problems like incontenence, some weight loss, arthritis and cataracts.
I would appreciate any help on this!
