Discovered a lump

[BeanyBoy&TruffTruff]

why are we sitting and guess when a photo can easily be taken so we can see the wound and decide?

thanks for the helpful post!!!


Anyway...I have bought some sudocrem and going to contact yet tomorrow just to get both buns booked in for check up. a) to find out when truffle needs spaying and b) to check up Bean's wounds.

However, if there is anyone else who would care to offer any info?

Just keep the wound clean and make sure he dosn't antagonise it by scratching or trying to groom the area (if he can reach it that is). It's always better safe than sorry to have any abnormalities within wounds checked by a vet but it's unlikely to be a serious abcess at this stage, it may be that he just has a little pus trapped under the scab.

Please don't confuse abcess stories from this forum that are related to teeth, mandibles or hocks with ones that spring up from a 'skin' injury....they tend to be far easier to treat and less likely to reoccur as there will be no boney involvement, which is the biggest problem with other types of abcess.

thanks for your post...really helpful! I just worry lots about my little boy! Also worry about my little girl too as they are so happy together I have been trying to put cream on him this morning but he keeps bouncing around and binkis everywhere. Both him and truffle have been playing together and binkis galore since about 7:00 am:shock: Plus they both seem to have found new hiding holes together. Truffle seems to be the leader...

hopefully they will both be fine, well especially Bean...will try and get to vets tomorrow.

Ok sudocrem is on! He really flinched when I put it on one side! Hopefully he won't lick it off...trying to distract him with one of his favourite treats - carrots and cabbage salad! However, Truffle is such a snuffler she may have eaten it all before him!

Hope the sudocrem won't harm him - only put a dab on!

Thanks

Ok so I hope this Sudocrem is safe - He is licking at it good and proper!!! Tried to distract lots but he just wont let it go!

Is it all safe?

 

[BeanyBoy&TruffTruff]

Still licking!!!!! is he going to be ok! Also, when are the scabs going to heal!!!

scab helaing takes time depending on the rabbit and its immune system wil ldetermine how long anything from 1 week to a month is normal though. licking i would try and prevent if possibly if thte sudo creme is on there but i doubt it wil do much harm. i use warm water to bath a wound and try nhot to put anyhting on it unless its weeping.then i would try vetinary wound powder. but speak to your vet to be sure... sudo creme has been used on buns for lots of thing sin the past so i think you will have no ill effeects. x

Thanks...its driving me round the bend today! Just can't stop worrying about him! There are dark grey patches all around the wound now too and also another wound under his chin!

Heal little Bean please heal!

I hope Bean is OK. I use sudocrem on hocks when they are inflamed (vets advice) so it should be OK. Best to get him checked at the vets though. Good luck.

Yup going to be off to the vets tomorrow! A new vets too...been recommended as being rabbit savvy by ARC...hopefully I can get an appointment in the morning. I have just rubbed some more cream into his sore spots...bless him! He hasn't licked the sudocrem off this time! Hurrah!

Also going to get truffle checked out for her spay...may as well, seens as though she will be coming along for the ride. So cute that they have to go everywhere together now!
