Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

:wave: Hi everyone.

Bramble has a round fleshy lump under her neck. Is this normal?

Looks like a normal dewlap to me, which is something that unspayed female bunnies normally develop. If you're worried though you can always speak to your vet :)
 
Sometimes they do shrink a bit, but often they don't (it's difficult for skin to disappear after all!) The later they are spayed the bigger they tend to get, because it is nature's way of providing a female bunny with somewhere to pluck fur from to line her nest. I would advise spaying as soon as you can because they can get so big that they actually get in the way!
