Hi,
I rescued Millie from a forgotten garden hutch year before last. I took her to be spayed but vet refused because she was very overweight. She was also nest building and very hormonal. She is partnered with Edward. The next time she was booked in it was cancelled again as she was having a phantom, and the time after that. Since then she has still been having the phantoms and again has been booked in for spaying but for different reasons and other buns being ill it has never happened.
Last year, even though she was vaccinated under the old vaccine she still contracted Nodular Myxi. She was fine all the way through it except she had lumps all over her body which eventually scabbed and fell off. She does have some scarring from the lesions around her eyes which were really bad and on her ears and odd ones on her back.
We went to the vets last week to discuss spaying and the vet said to let him have a think and discuss with other vets as she has some what feels like jellylilke lumps about the size of small pea on her chest, sides and abdomen. The vet thinks these may be small tumours coming from either a uterine tumour or ovarian tumours. Another possibility is that they could some sort of nodular condition from the myxi. Just wondereing if any one has experience of any repercussions later on from nodular myxi.
I will speak to the vet again next week. He wants another examination and feel of her as is not sure if the lumps are in the skin or muscle under the skin. He is suggesting GA for xrays. and to remove a lump for biopsy. If the lumps are just in the skin he can get it with local anaestetic. if in the muscle then will have to be GA as deeper and cant risk her moving while he is doing the procedure.
I know because of her hormonal history there is a strong possibility it could be tumours.
However I need to know if anyone has heard of this after a bun has had the nodular myxi
thanks
