Rabbit with skin problem- ? tumor

D

New Kit
I have a rabbit approx 4 yrs old male, not neutered. We just discovered this skin problem. at the top of his neck is a hard yellow white patch of tissue. It seems sensitive to touch. around and below that the skin is excoriated and the fur is gone. that seems to be from the rabbit licking. We don't have money for a vet. I am a nurse and I can do alot treatment wise but I don't know what we are dealing with.
Here is a link with pics.

thanks
 
I'm sorry but he really needs to see a vet, who is allowed to dispense suitable meds for a rabbit. Nobody here would be able to diagnose with a piccy and then recommend medicine and dosage.

Hi and welcome to the forum. The link doesnt work for me.
I am sorry but I think you should take your rabbit to a vet. If you can get a photo on here, all anyone can do is take a guess! Only a vet can diagnose, carry out tests, treat, prescribe etc.
 
Hello and welcome to RU,that looks very sore.Your bunny will need appropriate treatment and pain relief from a rabbit savvy vet.A lot of vets will do a payment plan if you dont have a lot of money
 
I can't really tell from the photos, but the location of the lump would possibly suggest either a bacterial or fungal infection. Infections under the chin or on the chest are sometimes caused by dental problems. A vet will be able to diagnose the problem and check the back teeth for spurs. It shouldn't cost a lot of money for the initial consult fee, and it might be something easily cured with the right treatment.
