Hi, I am just looking to see if anyone has any infor on this particular subject. This is not my rabbit however i do know a little bit about her. She started off having 2 lumps on her back which when oing to the vet ended up being cysts which was diagnosed by the vet. She got these removed surgically however about 7 more have came up over the past month in different places on the body and head and keep getting drained. The vet is unsure what could eb causeing this and just not sure if anyone else has any idea. They are abou the size of a brussel sprout and are raised and bald under the skin. She is fine other wise...eating, drinking, pooing ect.....Any ideas anyone as im stumped.

Was histology carried out on the initial ‘cysts’ ?
I thinks so. What was told was that they were fatty cysts under the skin but apart from that nothing else has been said.

I would want to know for sure if the previous cysts were sent for histology. Can you check with the Vet?
If they are fluid filled then a Fine Needle Aspiration is another option.

But if they were pus filled abscesses they wouldn’t aspirate fluid, which they apparently are doing
Ahh....I missed that bit....But if they were pus filled abscesses they wouldn’t aspirate fluid, which they apparently are doing
Back to the drawing board & some histology results?
