White lump on bottom of Smudge??

Hey everyone, i think im over reacting but i need advice/ reassurance...... doing bum check on Smudge today and saw a white lump (it resembles a white head spot!) on his bottom i guess it is where is penis is tucked in????
I tried to look at it properly but it was pretty difficult i had to turn him on his back and i hate, hate, hate doing that as i have read it is very distressing for them.......

He is eating, pooping, peeing (everywhere!) he has been running about and grooming himself, all in all seems like he is ok; but just wondered what it might be! It is only one on there and has not gotten bigger over the last 5 hours.

What do people think?

Possibilities are a spot, blocked hair follicle/ingrown hair, pasturella abcess or treponema cuniculi (rabbit syphilis)... etc.

I would pop bunny to your vet for a proper diagnosis. Hopefully it is something very minor like a simple spot.

My male had this at the base of his penis - turned out to be an ingrown hair that the vet removed using a magnifier.
 
i just thought i would update, i forgot too.... might be useful for some people who find a spot on rabbits bottom; vet said it is common esp in bucks best best just to leave it be :)

:?

I would advise that any other member who finds anything at all unusual on their rabbit have it checked out by a vet and not just assume it is normal at all.
 
Nala (female) has a couple of white spots on her lady bits too.. she's always had them and they have never been a problem. If they changed or multiplied id get them checked though
