Anyone know how to administer chlorophyll complex in pearl form to a rabbit? It's supposed to help prevent the return of the cancer. The vet also prescribed liquid echinacea, which is easily administered through a syringe(aside from her REALLY fighting it since she has more energy now), and...

Cinda's follow up appointment to the surgery went well. She appears to be doing great, though needs to put on some weight and continue with penicillin injections for a bit. Turns out it wasn't exactly two masses--the whole thing was connected and part of it was all abscess. I saw pictures, the...

She did have both her ovaries and uterus removed when she was spayed, about five years ago. I don't know if they did any kind of litigation. I had no idea that any part of the uterus would be left behind. I know the vet initially suspected the growth might be coming from a uterus stump, though...

It's good he didn't seem to feel sick. Cinda didn't really seem that bad before the surgery, she was still eating, though maybe less, and maybe not as active possibly because of the large size of the thing making it difficult to balance as well. But she didn't really seem to be in pain. Now she...

How long did your bunny live after the surgery? Was the mass on the exterior or interior? Were they able to tell from any tests that it was aggressive or was this found out after it started to grow so quickly? I'm so sorry. I can understand what it must have been like:(

Thanks, I have set up a follow up appointment for the vet for next week. I'm not sure if both of the masses were tumors, as he seemed pretty certain after he did the surgery that the one around the intestines was an abscess, but who knows. There was pus. Is pus a part of cancer? I guess I just...

Sadly today the vet's office called with the results of the histopath and it is a sarcoma that will "most likely grow back" but there is no telling when, if it is slow growing or fast growing. They don't know where it started from either. The borders were cancerous, that is why they believe it...

Thanks, I think so too. Will keep you posted. She is doing really well today, eating like a horse.

She had been spayed years ago so I wouldn't think it would have anything to do with that. However, the vet mentioned something about a stump remaining after being spayed that could still develop cancer on it, so who knows. He didn't mention the stump of her uterus after the surgery at all. The...

Well she survived the surgery and is doing pretty well. She started eating a little on her own yesterday afternoon and is eating today and using the litterbox a little. The vet put her on some meds to get her gut going again as she isn't eliminating a normal amount of waste. I'm a little worried...

Hello all. My rabbit, Cinda, has a large internal abscess--at least that is what they think it is primarily, as there was pus on the fine needle aspiration sample. She's been checked into the vet today for "exploratory surgery" and I am freaking out waiting to hear if she's ok. Most of what I'd...
