Hey guys, new to the group. I need some advice by all means if you can pls help.
I have a 11 week old mini lop. My kids are in love with it.
However just recently I've noticed that when I picked the little guy up inbetween his arms there is a sharp bone sticking out under the skin its very prominent and thin. I haven't noticed this before. He however is acting normal, standing up, eating, pooping no noises should I be worried ??

Pic of the little guy today.. I'm worried for him. It's $600 for an xray and $300 for a consult 😭20230416_123807.jpg

It's not protruding through the skin is it? Is he hopping around normally?

No not through the skin but looks like it could if you applied pressure. He is acting and hoping around normally it's got me so puzzled no grunting or anything, content as can be!

Sorry I have only just taken photos as I've sent them to a rabbit dr.

This is what I'm meaning. It's strange and worries me as I'm sure if you were to put enough pressure on it, it would peirce through. Otherwise he's fine!
He is quiet thin everywhere else and bones are prominent. But not like this.

We have just recently found out our female is pregnant and has been dominating the food and yesterday had to be separated as she went from cuddling him to attacking him and our 6 weeker..

It so strange!

I wonder if he is really underweight and it's his breast bone showing through?
Also please separate your female from any males so she can not get pregnant again.
 
I hope your rabbit-savvy vet will offer more advice. As we bun parents know from a variety of medical conditions that can occur, GI stasis is a deadly killer if ignored, and at some time in the next 10-14 years bun guardians will need the help of a DVM. Experienced exotic vets have the extra schooling, and exotic species clinics have necessary equipment for xrays, etc. For sure, parenting to multiple buns will cost money same as having children.

My elder girl fx'd her femur but the bone did not break the skin, thankfully.

@Mileybun, yes, females can be impregnated immediately after giving birth. Self-induced ovulators.

If you are new to rabbit parenting, this forum and House Rabbit Society pages will be education tools, as well as your DVM.

Thanks so much, much appreciated 😊 yeah no I spoke to my long lost cousin who's a vet nurse and he said the prices I was quoted was extortion so I may get him to have a look but he's a big travel to get there.
