& Thank you to those who sent me kind thoughts and words during this difficult time. <3

So Bun was diagnosed with a very aggressive sarcoma cancerous tumor that was growing rapidly over the past two months. The vets said amputating his limb would be a serious surgery since it was located in the middle of his shoulder. They told me they could remove it but it would most likely just...

Yea im starting to feel like even if i do surgery he wouldn't be living a quality life after it.. They have to remove his front limb and his shoulder blade. Idk that breaks my heart to put him through all of that...

Hello Bunny Friends, Bun got a CT scan and a biopsy done this week. Dr. Seems to think he has bone cancer :(. She said the cancer has not spread to his lungs and it has not invaded neighboring parts of his body so thats rly good. In order to save his life they would have to do Surgery...

Yea im laying my fist down about the surgery. I mean if they say they cant get it out without removing it then thats a different story but i want the amputation to be a 2nd step..not the first. I want a phone call if they decide to do so..

Ya that is really really cheap. My primary vet said she didn't feel comfortable doing surgery on bun because she wasn't completely experienced with rabbits and she was afraid she would loose him during surgery..Which I appreciate her honestly. There really is not a local exotics vet that is...

So here's the latest on Bun: We got the Xray done and his bone is still visibly there which means the tumor has not started to eat it away yet. The tumor is surrounding his bone though.. I sent the X-ray to upenn and they reviewed it but are still requesting a CT scan before surgery. I have the...

Hello again! So my local Vet and the Specialist Vet I went to at UPENN called each other to discuss what is going on. (I'm glad were all on the same page now) They both reccomended I get an xray done on Bun. This is the most reasonable first step to see if bun is a candidate of surgery or...

Thank you for all the support everyone. It really means alot and it helps to hear others stories and things you have gone through with your rabbits as well. I tried contacting the specialist I went to but she is off work today (figures). Im going to have her call my local vet and describe to...

The vet at upenn Ryan hospital said she didn't want to biopsy it because she might damage some nerves that have wrapped around it. Ugh now they want either a X-ray or ct scan to see if it's attached to the bone or not ! I just want them to take it out and stop just trying to spend my money! This...

So here's an update on Bun: I took him to Upenn Ryan Vet Hospital yesterday. The Dr. did a full exam on him and she said everything else looks good and healthy. She ran a blood test and that came out fine as well. She was hoping to do a punch biopsy to figure out what the mass really is and if...

Thank you! I'm taking bun in to get a biopsy at upenn. Hoping to get some answers. Thanks for the support! Send us happy thoughts

@Lovelops you did or u didn't take ur rabbit to upenn? I have the cell slide sample from my vet already so I was hoping to take it to upenn for them to do lab work on it.

Just read this whole thread... Breaks my heart. My little bun seems to have a mass growing on him too. Im so torn on what to do.. I dont want to put him in any pain :(

Hi- does anyone live in the PA, Bucks County area that can recommend a good vet? I heard UPenn has an outstanding exotics dept but wanted to see what others thought or if anyone has ever brought their rabbit in there? My rabbit has a tumor about the size of a ping pong ball in his shoulder and...
