    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.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    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.

So my wee one's set for going in to the vets tomorrow to have a large cyst removed from her dewlap. If all goes well I'll have her home early evening, and then the fun will begin!

The vet has warned she'll have staples, stitches and a 2-ended drain sticking out of her. The drain ends can't be covered as they'll be dripping fluid all over the place (how pleasant!).

When she was spayed she pulled all her staples out in 24 hours, so there's little chance she'll leave this collection alone. Apart from knocking her senseless for the next three days does anyone have any ideas what I should do?
