Hi
Last year, my 5 year old bunny underwent surgery to have a lump removed from her tummy. Unfortunately she wasn't insured and this cost me £800. I am reluctant to take her back to the vets as although she is now insured, I don't believe insurers would pay out and it's a pre-exisiting condition. So, now, she has a wound on her tummy in the same place, and it looks awful. It's been like it for a few weeks and I just don't know what to do. She lives indoors and I have stopped her from going into the garden and digging for fear it will get infected, it looks like it was getting better but I think she's biting it herself as today it is looking bad again. I know I should take her to the vets but I am afraid they will give me bad news, and I love her to bits (I know, I'm just burying my head in the sand). Has anybody come across this before and could advise what I can do please?
