Small soft lump on top of bunny's head

Hi all,

I am new here although my partner has been a member for a little while (camerajuan).

I have noticed a small soft lump on the top of our bunnies head, it doesn't seem to be giving her any pain and her behaviour is normal (still bouncing around like the crazy thing she is)!

Am I being neurotic or is this something we should get checked with the vet straight away?

Thanks :)
 
Hello, it is necessary to get a Vet to examine your Rabbit as we cant tell you if the lump is anything to worry about or not as we cant see/feel it. You dont say exactly where on the head the lump is or how big it is. So I'd make an appointment at your Vets :)
 
The tops of their heads are usually more boney than soft n lumpy so I agree it's probably something that needs prodding by a vet :)

Without knowing exactly where the lump is, it's impossible to offer any suggestions?

Has she been vaccinated recently? Sometimes the skin can have a reaction at the vaccination site.

Other than that, I would consult a good rabbit vet and see what they say.

Welcome to the Forum :wave:
 
Checked her over thoroughly last night & then again this morning. Lump seems to have gone.

I initially thought it was just her fur clumping as it was moving with her skin, so possibly has just unclumped?

She's fine too! Proper cuddly the past few days!
 
Is she moulting? Sometimes you can get a funny feeling patch where the new fur starts to come though under the old. If you blow/part the fur you can usually see the change.

No moulting really. I've blown where the lump was and there's nothing below it and it feels like it's gone now so maybe as my OH says, over-protective mum syndrome!
 
Awwww, i thinks its so sweet..... True Love indeed ... Glad Phoebe is Okay now.

Nice to see you both care!!!
