another op for bailey??

gina paul · Oct 10, 2005

Took the monsters (aka bailey and gismo) for their check up tonight after being neutered and the vet has noticed that bailey has what looks like a skin tag where the stitches are around his testicle area (or what was his testicle area

) The vet wants to see him next monday again to see if it will disappear or if it will need removed !! Bailey had a go at his stitches whilst in the vets and pulled at one , it appears that this has pulled the skin and caused a tag . I really don,t want bailey going through another op and i,m tempted just to tell the vet that we will leave it alone . I,ll take him back next monday though and take it from there . The wound has healed but there is a teardrop size of skin just kinda hanging there . Its not infected or anything like that . Any advice would be appreciated . :?
The vet said that they would need to knock him out again :shock:

I cant understand what harm this skin tag would cause? seems weird to me, its not like he is going to trip over it :roll:

I will be interested to see the reasons from more professional bunny folks

This is about skin tags in humans, but I imagine it's quite similar to what Bailey has?
From the looks of it, there area few methods they could try, though unless it gets irritated it shouldn't matter.
Perhaps the vet is worried about it getting dragged along the floor? But when Bailey's fur grows back I don't think it would bother him at all.

Thats what I thought - maybe they are concerned about it being dragged but its not big enough for that :shock:
Thanks for the link - i,ll take a look . x

Well it says on that site that it's a benign growth, perhaps the vet is worried it will turn into something a bit more sinister in time if left?
