Sending lots of vibes for Oscar.

Thanks x

I hope so - I won't agree to pts easily but you can see he isn't in very good condition. Maybe he should be allowed to die here when the time comes.

From what I read, you need not rush to a decision. Sending vibes for you both.

The Vet wishes to have the lump removed. He can't tell if it is an Abscess or something else but must be removed asap. I am waiting for the VN to phone with an appointment at the Hospital. I know they are very busy but hope we don't have to wait too long!

Sorry to hear that Tonibun, hope you get a quick appointment, and it's nothing to worry about. Sending lots of vibes for Oscar xx

Obviously it's very worrying, but I'm pleased that the vet is considering removal of the lump. Hopefully it can be done very soon and also that the diagnosis is that it's something easily treatable. Sending lots of vibes for Oscar.

I hope Oscar can get an appointment quickly and that the removal of his lump will go well, and hopefully he'll be fine again after that. Lots of vibes for Oscar.

Have you any advice if the lump bursts?

Have you any advice if the lump bursts?

Has it done so ? If so what has come out ?

 

[tonibun]

Has it done so ? If so what has come out ?

No it hasn't, jusst wondered what I would have to do if it did, apart from cleaning up the mess.

 

[tonibun]

I wish it could have been a bit sooner!

Abscesses are usually full of very thick white stuff, very like cream cheese or toothpaste - so that won't run out but could be squeezed out, if it's not too painful. There may be greenish gunk from an infection, and maybe blood - those will be runnier and a lot messier. Mop up anything that comes out. Rinse the open wound with saline or dilute hibiscrub, if you can. A syringe may be useful for that bit, plus lots of kitchen roll. Obviously get vet advice as well at that point. I really hope it doesn't come to that, though.

Ditto and pack the hole with medical grade Manuka Honey
Probably best to use towels for bedding as it’d be important that the cavity doesn’t get lots of hay etc in it.
You will need to be ultra vigilant re Flystrike too.
Getting Bunny seen by a Vet ASAP would obviously be the most important thing.

I'm sorry Oscar's appointment isn't until October, tonibun. That's quite a wait.

 

[tonibun]

Many thanks Shimmer and Jane! X

 

[tonibun]

Please can we have vibes and prayers for Oscar? I am glad the lump didn't burst so I shall be waiting by the phone to hear from the Vets.

The very best of luck, Oscar! Sending lots and lots of vibes.
