Extra tissue around the neck

[zombiesue]

I took Pudd, my Netherland Dwarf, for his first vet appointment today and the vet told me he seemed healthy and at a good weight (3 pounds and 11 ounces, kind of on the big side for a ND) but he has something of a triple chin, which puzzled the vet a little.

Any ideas? Does it seem like something to be worried about? He's about 4, I'll try to get a picture if that helps.

A pic might help. Dewlaps aren't a common thing for a male rabbit to have, but it's not unheard of. Just ask Reuben, Anaira's bun

My female has a "pouf" but she's fat.. Lol some rabbits just have a little extra skin. If he vet isn't worried, you shouldn't either.

Like that? Haha

YEAH! It just seems like a lot! He's male, he only weighs like 3 pounds 11 ounces and I think 50% of the weight is in his NECK, but he's not overweight!

Same here he's male. I just had him at the vet and she checked it all and said it was okay. He needs to loose some weight but is at 3.5 pounds. I've never had a male have a dewlap before but hey... He has a pillow lol

Glad he's comfortable.
