advice on a hernia

Hi all i dont know if you remember me but i was on a few months ago asking for help in rehoming my moms friends rabbit, as it happen she had second thoughts but i have managed to help her see that it is best if they are rehomed so they are now living in my garden with my 2 other buns, the problem i now have is that when i collected them yesterday i gave them a good look over and found that the one little girl has what i think is a hernia is it quite large about the size of a big grape it doesnt seem to bother her and is not dragging on the floor or any thing but i know its not a good thing, i have spoken with the vets today and they said they will do it when they spay her. But i am now very worried about what if it goes wrong and something happens i know buns can have problems under anastetic and i know having a hernia will make the op harder and longer for her and also is it best to have them both done together or one at a time. i do hope you are able to give me some advice on this as i m very worried for her.
thanks
 
The only Bunny hernia I have seen is one which happened after a spay. Once your Vet has established that your buns lump is a hernia it is better that it is dealt with when she is spayed. Otherwise it just means another GA.
Hope all goes well.
