Hi, new to this but hoping for some friendly advice and wondering if anyone has had experience of this. I have 2 Netherland Dwarf bunnies, siblings aged 7 1/2. Male called Smudge and Female called Mrs P. ( Don't ask! ). Smudge has developed a lump on his lower right eyelid. I took him to the vets as soon as I noticed it, and she thinks it is a tumour, she says they can't do anything and has just given me antibiotic cream for any infection to be applied twice a day, and told me to monitor it, she reckons I'll have to have him put down within a month. Has anyone any experience of this at all?? I have a good homeopathic vet nearby - should I get a second opinion or would it be a waste of time ( I know he's very expensive ). I have owned rabbits for the last 17 years and have nursed 3 through wryneck ( one very severe case ), blindness and fly strike. My last two bunnies were 10 and 12 when they passed away so 7 1/2 is still a baby to me!
He seems otherwise absolutely fine, still eating and trying it on with Mrs P at every opportunity ( she is spayed - he is not! ).
Any advice anyone? Will try and post photos when I work out how! xx
