Cyst

[aerofine]

I have an 11 month old female Dutch rescue who has got a large cyst on her shoulder. We’ve had her for less than a month and she has had it for at least that amount of time. She’s been to the vets twice who confirmed that there is only clear liquid in it. She was given loxicom. It’s not having an impact on her at all. It’s gone down somewhat but it’s still noticeable. The vet said that it may not reduce completely.

Has anyone had rabbits with similar?

Did the Vet take a fine needle aspiration from the 'cyst' to look and have a look at the cells contained in the aspirate under a microscope ? Can you post a photo of the 'cyst' ?

Yes he did but I dont know if he looked at cells. We had to wait in car park. How do I post a pic?

You can see the lump on her shoulder.

Yes, I was able to see the image by copying and pasting it into Google.

Could you ask the Vet if he viewed the aspirate under a microscope. It can be possible to determine what sort of 'lump' it may be by the microscopic appearance of the cells within it. I am wondering if it could be an Elbow Hygroma. This explains the condition in dogs, never seen it in a Rabbit though

Personally I would want the Vet to investigate things a bit more if he has not done so x

The vet said not to worry about it. I will ask the question though. It’s not bothering her at all.

That's good news at least
