Hi everyone, I have a 9 1/2 year old Rex rabbit- I’ve had him so long and love him so much but have a tricky decision to make and wondered if anyone has any advice. My bunny has a large almost golf ball sized tumour on his eyelid, unfortunately the first vets I was with did nothing but the vet I am now seeing said the tumour should have been removed when it was small! So now it’s a very tricky decision whether to leave it knowing it will keep growing and soon cause an infection or bleed- he is good in himself at the moment and taking pain relief. But there is a chance he could have an op to remove his eye with tumour, but this is only 50/50 chance- part of me thinks go for it, but when his quality of life is not so good (when the eye is bleeding a lot or is causing him distress)- but if I did the op now whilst he doesn’t have an infection, maybe there is more chance of him recovering. Sorry about the long spiel it’s just a tricky one, I don’t want to put him through it knowing he could have the op but have a difficult recovery/ maybe goes down hill.
Thanku in advance
