I have a really really bad feeling about this that I am trying hard not to give into but I do feel physically sick
genna's face is starting to swell I am sure of it :? Now if she has had a knock on the head that hard then I guess some swelling is to be expected BUT in my gut I think it is a massive abscess starting to reveal itself.
I specifically asked about tumours and abscesses but the vet was convinced it was a huge bang on the head. However i have no idea what she could have banged it on that hard. In the run she would have hit mesh and its pretty flexible and I think would have left some sort of mark on her :?
As Genna has a history of cancer, I believe (but obviously its only a feeling) that she has a tumour in her head and it has become infected and that is causing her bulging eye and the swelling starting on her face. This is what happened to Moses ( although he was 9 years old) and it reminds me very much of Valerie ( although her abscess was dental related) who we initially thought had a bang on the head. Genna also had her dual vaccine about 2 weeks ago which although would not have caused this may have accelerated any underlying problem:?
If the vets are right and it is a bang on the head then she needs to be kept calm and quiet so rushing her back to the vets would be the worse thing I can do. On the other hand if its the start of something serious she needs a vet :?
I have spoken to them again and we have agreed to wait and see how she goes as I am watching her like a hawk. At the moment she is booked back in first thing in the morning with Dora. Hopefully this strikes the right balance as things stand at the moment :?
i just hope this really bad feeling I have is due to me being so stressed and negative at the moment as we have so many sick bunnies and my little girl will be feeling much much better in the morning. She isn;t even a year old yet
