Sugar has just had a lump removed. Now waiting for analysis

Sugar had a lump on her stomach removed this morning. It's near one of her teats and is fairly small. The initial thought was that it could be an abscess.

My vet has just phoned to say there was some pus, but beneath this there was a lump with white threads leading away from it. She has cut out the lump and removed all the threads as much as can be seen by the naked eye. The tissue has been sent to the lab for analysis. My vet explained the different things it could be, but I'm now in such a state that I can't remember half of what my vet told me and it's all become confused in my head.

Sugar is only just coming round from the anaesthetic, she's come through the actual op OK and will be able to come home later today. From what my vet has said, I think my poor girl has quite a large wound on her stomach.

Sugar is 4 years old. She's a Fat Fluff bunny and was spayed when she was a year old, just before I adopted her. When I discovered the lump I thought about the possibility of a mammary tumour, but with her being spayed when she was young and the fact that she is still a young rabbit, I'd all but dismissed it. I don't know whether it is cancer yet, but I'm so very worried and scared.

If anyone has any spare vibes for Sugar, we'd really appreciate it.

Loads and loads of vibes for Sugar.

Hope its nothing serious!

I had a Doe who had to have a total mastectomy due to multiple mammary tumours. They were all malignant BUT the disease had not spread. The Doe (Victoria Meldrew- yes, she was a grump !!) made a full recovery.

Lots of vibes for Sugar xx

Loads and loads a get well vibes coming your way

Thank you everyone. :wave:

Just off to collect Sugar now, and also little Roo who went with her to keep her company.

I missed this earlier! Lots of vibes for Sugar. x

She's home. Still a little bit groggy, but she's nibbled a little bit of dried plantain so fingers crossed she'll be munching again soon.

I've got to check her wound later, just to make sure it's still looking OK. Not seen it yet, so I don't know how big it is.

I hope she has a good night of munching and pooping and that the results are not ad bad as you are no doubt worrying they might be.

As usual, I've thought it through to its worst possible conclusion. :roll:

Poor Sugar When do you get the results?

The samples have been sent off to the lab, my vets can't do this particular test in-house, so it will be around 5 days.
