Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Great news that Pumpernickle was able to have her next round of Chemo'. I am sure that the Vet taken on to cover for your Vet's Maternity leave will insure that Pumpernicklr continues to have good ongoing care

Oh I am sorry to hear that you and Pumpernickle have encountered another obstacle. I do hope that she will respond to the latest chemo' dose and that you are able to locate another DVM to continue her treatment whilst Dr Briet is on Maternity leave, Sending millions more vibes for Pumpernickle, you are both putting up a tremendous fight against the evil Cancer xx

Well, you and Pumpernickle have a plan in place for her continued treatment. Lets hope that that new lump actually reduces in size after the last dose of chemo', or at worst it just remains stable.
Dont talk to me about unreliable old cars. Mine is a rust bucket on wheels and I swear it has a mind of its own. Sometimes it'll run like a new vehicle, sometimes it'll cough and splutter and then just stop :roll: The latter usually happens at the most inconvenient times. Honestly James, my car is more awkward and cantankerous than me !!
So, as ever I am sending a continuous flow of vibes for Pumpernickle
now with some extra ones for your car too. And as you said, in the words of the grand man Sir Winston Churchill '' We shall never surrender''.Oh and my Hammie (Fearghal) loves his cage !!

Oh goodness James it must be so stressful for you. No-one could be fighting harder for Pumpernickle than you are. How is she within herself ? I really hope that she is as comfortable as possible. At least, in her mind, she does not have all the fear induced by the 'Cancer' diagnosis...........or, for that matter, the fear we all currently have as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. She knows nothing about either of them. There is a lot of truth in the saying 'ignorance is bliss'. Take care James, sending millions more vibes for Pumpernickle
