Yes saw Avon this morning, she's a really good vet
She felt the lump, didn't think it was a hernia. Then stuck a needle into the lump and sucked a load of red watery liquid out of it.. Penelope wasn't best pleased about that...
Anyway, lumps gone now, she's back on loxicom, got another appointment Thursday with Avon to check again, if it comes back in the meantime she said to bring her back and they'll do a scan.
I said on Saturday was the first time they'd both run around properly after the op, and then Saturday night I'd put them back in their hutch with attached run - Avon thinks she stretched too much or something and basically it was a pocket of fluid... But not infected? Not 100% sure what caused it, but they're both back inside now so gunna keep a close eye on it and Avon said to limit their space again just maybe til the end of the week xx

I have a first class honours degree in stressing out about my Rabbits and Morse (Dog). Of course that makes me of even less use to them than I already am !!
Sending anti lumpy vibes for Lady P

Glad you saw Avon
Having seen the lump on your photos (which I only caught this morning) it did seem to be some sort of cyst and I'm pleased Avon's drained it.
I hope it doesn't return. "Not to worry" vibes being sent from here :wave:
Thank you
Also it's Ivone not Avon Idk why I keep doing that haha

Sorry I wasn't correcting you! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] I think it may have been or I'm just losing it! [emoji38][emoji38]Thank you, I'll try and remember that!
Perhaps it was your autocorrect?
So lumps back, appointment is this afternoon anyway.. Not really sure what this means.. Ivone said it wasnt infected... What would cause a build up of fluid like this? Anyone have any ideas?
Also I can feel a little hard lump, within the lump, which is concerning me a lot

). You have great Vets on the case and I am sure they will give you the best advice, which may be to just 'watch and wait'.
Cysts often refill quickly after being aspirated, in fact they can fill up even more than they were in the first place. The harder area may be granulated tissue which again can be exacerbated by having a needle stuck in it. It could all settle down on it's own over a period of 2-3 weeks. Do try not to panic (yeh, I know, that's rich coming from me
A herniated spay is usually quite obvious to feel. But an U/S may be suggested. This can be done without a GA, Lady P will just need another shave of the fur from her tummy if it has already grown back a lot.
Sending vibes for her x
also makes me feel a bit calmer as I was convinced the hard bit meant something bad.. Just gotta breath and see what they say in a bit I guess - ivone mentioned doing an U/S to be sure, but didn't think it had herniated, so I may just have that done also to make sure, but we'll see what she thinks first x

Yea honestly I never ever want a female bun that I have to get spayed again [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
Yea next time! If there is one [emoji38]Most of mine have come direct from Rescue Centres so are spayed/neutered and vaccinated.
Much less stressful ........
