We have had all three of our rabbits neutered. With our youngest, Bugs, there was a bit of a problem.
When we first took him in, the vet told us that only one of his testicles had dropped, and they weren't sure if they got both of them. A lab test later revealed that what they thought was the second testicle was in fact just some fatty tissue. They asked us to wait a couple months and then bring him back in so they could find and remove the second testicle (at no additional charge.) We did this and they said that while it took some searching, they found and removed the second one.
However, we have noticed that occasionally Bugs and Thumper will squabble a bit, and when they do one of them gives off that musky "fight" or "warning" scent. We believe it's most likely Bugs that is doing it. Does this mean it's possible that the vet clinic actually didn't get his other testicle and didn't tell us? If that's possible, obviously we would need to have him looked at somewhere else because we know this could be harmful to his health.
Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
