Shopes Papilloma?

christina83 · Sep 12, 2016

Hi everyone, I'm a little concerned about my Runty boy.
He's 7years and 3months old and I think he has papilloma on his ear. I saw the vets last Monday as he went for his VHD2 vaccine along with his 3 brothers and mammy. I showed the vet his little horny thing on his ear and she agreed it looked like shopes. Thing is she said to see how it goes. But I'm panicking, I don't know what to do with him :s
He's been going through a bad moult the last few weeks which is taking forever and he's been a bit down about that I think, and then he was upset after having his vaccine. He was so nervous at the vets that his carrier box shook like mad. He's very spoiled and lives under my bed

He's been brought up in my room since he was a baby. Only I can pick him up too. He was never neutered because of his bad nerves and I was scared he'd die under anesthetic because he's a tiny runty rabbit.
He's eating fine, begs for treats but doesn't like me lately because I brush him.
I just really don't know what to do with these horns

I'm so worried about cancer

Perhaps the Vet feels that the risk of a GA to remove the Papilloma is greater than 'watching and waiting'. Some papillomas can regress without treatment, they do not inevitable became malignant. It could be that it is a spontaneous non viral papilloma and these are totally harmless.

Do you trust your vet Christina?

If you do, and your vet felt the best thing was to watch and wait and see what happens, then I would take their advice and really try not to worry. I know you love him very much and want the best, but this could well be the best advice.

You could always seek a second opinion if you prefer?
