Hi
Does anyone know what this could be?
Small spot on bunnies nose. She looks fine, is still eating & drinking. Eyes are bright & not wet or weeping. No swelling anywhere.

A while ago, can't remember when but i'm sure its been a year now.
If it is a myxi nodule its a lot smaller to my other bunnie that had one. I'm sure her nose lump was grey/black. But this was quite a few years ago so can't be 100%. The lump should eventually fall off shouldn't it?

Yes,it looks as though it already has. But it is very important that you take her to a Vet, even if she is seeming to be fine within herself.

You obviously have experience of nodular myxi, and I'm sorry to hear of this lump you've found on your bunny.

You should consult a vet, as the rabbit will need antibiotic cover for any secondary infection and also pain relief to damp down inflammation.

Good luck xx
 
I'm finding it difficult to enlarge the photo to get a better look, but another possibility is Treponematosis (Rabbit Syphilis). The nodules look quite similar and are usually around the nose. Genitals are not always involved.

I think it's important to get a vet to examine your rabbit as it is very likely that she will need medication.
