funny lump..update

giving my rescues a good fuss tonight when feeding and found something strange on one of them . It felt like a hard lump which wasnt round like youd expect an abssess , but long and thin instead .Had a good look when my oh came and its realy strange. its like a raised up scar with a scab on it and it runs around one side of her neck and under her chin just above her small dewlap. it looks very raw in places and the fur has gone from the edges .
If she had been brought in as a stray i would have sworn she had been in a snare cos thats just what it looks like ...a snare injury. She was brought by someone moving abroad and has been here nearly a month .
I ve racked my brains to think if theres anything she could have injured herself with here , but can think of nothing at all . i have checked her hutch and both runs ... but nothing i can see :? :?

poor baby . looks like its vets here we come ...again :?

Blimey, how strange :? The only thing I can think of is it is an old scar and maybe whilst having a scratch she caught it with a toenail and set off a bit of dermatitis??? Jane and Buns xx
 
Shes eating ok and doesnt seem ill . couldnt get to vets today (they were shut by the time i could get there) so off we go tommorow tea time .

poor babe , she had a date on saturday too and a lovely new home waiting :cry: just have to see what vet says .

Angie
 
well baffled the vet too !!!!!!!!! :shock: :?

she thinks its an oldish wound which has thickened and caused some sork of dermatitus . but is sure it wasnt there when she was spayed .

good news is shes pretty sure its healing fine . no pus . no angry colour around it .
poor babe has now got a shaved neck so i can keep an eye on it and keep it dry :oops:
got some dermasol cream to put on when scab comes off .

Angie
 
I think me & you are single-handedly keeping those vets in business :?

Hope your bun is well today :D
 
been back again tonight .
A male bun with ...eeerm damaged plums :shock: :? :? was being kept with another male till we got it .
It looks awful
