So as things often do for me and Priscilla we have hit another bump (literally) and once again I have some tricky choices to make
Obviously her pelvis is a mess , spondylosis and sore hock on one remaining back leg which I am managing with pain meds and manuka honey, however she is also entire and having seen her CT scan and talking it over with savvy rabbit vets we decided not to spay it wouldn't be in her best interest,
Now however she went into a pseudo pregnancy developed mammary glands and generally grumpy all resolved by itself in around 2 weeks ish except one lump, now my choices are a) do nothing carry on as normal giving her love and support or b) potentially have the lump removed accepting that if it is malignant spread may have already occurred and I'd probably have to spay her
Not sure my point in this post really my feelings are the lump removal would be unfair and I certainly won't spay her which has been hard coming to terms with in and of itself but with her pelvis pathology and anaesthetic risks it's off the table .
I guess I'm looking for some support really has anyone nurses a mammary tumor bunny? What am I looking at ? The lump is barely the size of a pin head it's regular in shape.
Thanks
