Hello ! I just neuteured my male rabbit on sunday . He is still doing fine , eating , pooping peeing and deinking but as i picked him up today i noticed somethinh was off with his wound. A black lump formed where he had surgery . And one of his testicles seemed like a banana which had the top peeeled. Sorry i couldn't upload a photo it said the file was too big. I'm really scared that his wound is open what sould i do ?

This is a common problem uploading photo, you can do it using screenshot. Open your photo full screen then press PrintScreen button (usually in the right top corner of your keyboard PrtSc on mine), this will copy your screen image, then open any graphic program like Paint, open a new file there and press Ctrl+V then save this new file. Now you can upload it in your post with no problem it won't be too big.

Maybe there's another way(s) to reduce your size this works for me and I use it when don't want to think too long.
 
My baby boy, Kung-foo, had this issue a few days after he was neutered. He opened his wound too. We tried everything, including baby nappies to keep him from chewing the area. He was not happy at all. Maybe your bunny isnt chewing, I dont know since theres no picture. But that could be hardened dry blood.
Eventually I took him back to the vet, who again put him under aneasthetic, stitched him, and advised that he wear an e-collar. These are not recommended for bunnies except in severe cases. You will have to remove the collar for about 2-3 hours everyday so he can clean himself, eat cecotrophs etc. But this must be supervised as he will be uncomfortable and try to relieve his itching. He must be kept in a secluded area where he cant jump etc since the e-collar will likely cause him to crash. After a few days it will heal.
Best of luck and hope he gets well.
 
Hello everyone sorry for the late reply and thank you for all your responses. I did bring him to the vet that same day and he said that everything was fine the wound had cicatrized and slowly the thread used will get out . He's doing a lot better. The only bad news is i ended up with again a new litter. My female rabbit got pregnant the day she gave birth. She gave birth to a tight place where the kits can't stop moving out of the nest and she also used plastic bag for the nest which is really inconvenient. I needed to move it so the kits won't get out of it. I moved it in the cage and placed lot of hay and the mother's fur. I put her in the cage for a few minutes for her to know the new location of the nest. But i'm worried that she might abandon her babies because i moved the nest and i was thinking of putting her in the cage during the night to make sure she feeds her babies not like the first time where i had to handbottle fed them. I'm not sure if i should move the nest back where it was or if i should let it be.
