Twilight is about 7 months old, got her this spring from the farm store, so not sure of her exact age.
Flies were HORRIBLE here this summer. She had to go to the vet to have 2 lanced and the larva removed. One healed great, not even a sign that anything happened after the hair grew back.
the second, left a lump about the size of an egg. It's just to the left of her spine. It's completely solid, doesn't move in any way. The vet has checked it a couple of times and says that it is scar tissue. He recommended not to remove it.
It's been almost 2 months since the lancing. It hasn't changed in size or texture at all. She is eating/eliminating normally. No weight loss at all either. The vet poked and prodded the lump in every way imaginable, she just kept on eating. He said that was the ultimate sign that it wasn't bothering or impeding her in any way.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I don't want to put her in unnecessary risk or stress. But my vet admits to not being a rabbit expert. Though he did nurse another of our rabbits through a broken leg, so he does his homework!
