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.

Joey - foot update

If it is hard and immobile then a bony type growth seems likely. My Jack had one on his hip. A punch biopsy was taken.
Sending vibes for Joey x

thank You JJ. Did Jack's develop quite quickly cos I'm sure this must have - I do manhandle him every couple of weeks at least to look for bumps / things not seeming right. Do you mind sharing Jacks outcome ? Also I guess a punch biopsy would require anaesthetic? He'll have whatever is best for him of course - I'm just mentally preparing / planning

Jack’s lump appeared very quickly. It was an osteosarcoma unfortunately. He had the punch biopsy done under sedation, not a full GA.
 
Bunny buddy - do we get to go in consults now? I read we did on website but reckon you might be more up to date
 
Oh, poor Joey. :( It's good that it doesn't seem to be hurting him, at least. I hope the vet can find out what it is, and I hope it's easily treatable. Sending Joey lots and lots of vibes.

Yes and no. I think you will from what you described.

Since they have let us in again I have had 2 in for stasis.

One with Ruth, I went in

The second, the nurse took the bunny off me to do x-ray and blood glucose and as soon as available the vet, Heather came out with the verdict.




Neither of course we're scheduled appointments so I think that made the difference with the car park one.

Whilst I was waiting I did see some car park consults and people going in with pets. I would be pretty sure you will get the option of indoor consultant for e scheduled appointment.

That's good then. I hate not being with them. Poor Paul - can't believe I'm landing him with all 3 in one go again

Silly me, it's tomorrow ! I'm a day ahead of myself here. Never mind above wishes still stand :D

Poor Joey, it's good that he doesn't seem to be in pain so hopefully it's nothing too serious. Sending hugs xxx
 
Hello, I’ve only just seen this. Poor Joey with the lump. So hard when you’re not sure what it is. Lots of vibes from me, Winnie and Zigs
