As per the title, please :wave:
Sugar had a lump removed on Friday, plus quite a lot of the surrounding tissue, and I'm waiting for the results. I just want to learn and understand a bit about mammary tumours in rabbits, how they spread, how quickly etc, just in case we are facing the worst. I just want to be prepared.
I've got FHB's Textbook of Rabbit Medicine, but can't find much about it in there. I've done a search on the internet, loads of stuff comes up but I want to be sure I'm reading reliable info and not rubbish.
Sugar was spayed at about a year old and she is 4 now. Until now I didn't realise that females spayed early in life were still at risk of mammary tumours. My vet said that it's not common, but it is still possible.
Thanks in advance.
