Lump found :-(

Hiya,

I've just found a lump, about the size of a large marble on the neck, under the chin of my while cashmere lop rescue. It's round in shape, and feels quite hard.

I've no idea where this has come from, and what is the cause, as I've never come across anything like it before. In proportion to the rabbit, it is huge!

Has anyone else come across anything like this before?
With the size of it, and its situation, I thinking the removal of it could be very difficult, and lumps are never a good thing :(

Any thoughts, opinions would be very gratefully received, as I'm worrying so much at the moment
:(

When Patchy had a lump under her chin, it was osteomylitis(sp.) BUT she also had runny eyes and a snuffly nose, because it had put her jaw slightly out of alignment.
I hope you find out what it is and that bunny is ok.
 
Interestingly enough, pior to this, he had been suffering from a snuffly nose? Had been on antibiotics, and moved to my outdoor hutch.


So what happened with your bun?
 
She deteriorated over 6 months and eventually died in her sleep. The lump was her jawline growing though, not a separate lump.
See what the vet says. There could be any number of reasons.
This is what Patchy looked like a just before she died

the right side of her face is much larger than the left. If your bunny's lump is under the chin, it's probably not the same thing.
 
Oh I hope ur bun will be Ok, it's so worrying. Pip had a lump under her armpit a few weeks ago, was a bit touch + go for a while as she was quite ill, but vet managed to remove it and she is like a spring chicken now!! Vet did say it looked quite nasty though so could spread or return, just enjoying the time I have with her. Her lump wasn't attached, but take her to your vets as soon as, hopefully it can be removed.

My guess would be either an abcess or some kind or a more serious growth. I'd take her to the Vet asap and just see what they say.

I hope she's ok. xxx
 
my rabbit had the exact same problem i took her to the vet and they said it was an abcess and infected the vet will surgically remove it and give you a cource of antibiotics my rab bits fur is still growing back because they shaved it it looks a bit weird cause' its a different colour to the rest of her fur hope she gets well soon :wink:
 
just wondered if you have been to the vets and had the lump checked. Good luck as I have just took in a rescue bun that had to have 2 lumps removed yesterday they turned out to be acesses, he wasn't ill with them or anything I just felt it when I got him home.
