On Friday night, I was sitting on the settee with Flint asleep on my knee & I felt a lump on his side - just in front of his back leg. It was only really small, but hard. On Saturday I checked him over again it was definitely bigger. I took him to the vets & it turns out it's an abscess. It burst & left a hole (which the vet seemed happy with, but GROSS!). I've been instructed to wash it with salt water, which I've been doing a couple of times a day. I've also put vitamins in his water. And I've put him in a different hutch as I'm not sure what's caused it. He isn't bonded yet (waiting for Polly to get spayed in a couple of weeks) & it's a weird place to get a cut. The vet said he only needs to go back if he gets worse, but I've got two having VHD jabs tonight, so Flint's coming too!
Any ideas what's caused this?
