Hello,
I brought my rabbit to the vet today as I noticed a lump on his testicles. The vet determined it was a tumor and that he would need surgery to remove it along with blood work,etc. He is eatting, drinking and acting mostly normal, but he has been seeming lethargic and sits in the corner of his cage a lot. I am not sure how to tell if he is in any pain or not.
He is 10 years old, so my question is, is surgery worth it for him? Will it reduce his quality of life or cause pain afterwards?
The money is the least of my worries, but I certainly would like to know if he will need to take drugs for the remainder of his life or until the pain stops if there is any?
I love him very much and I really don't want to euthanize him. I just want to know if his quality of life will suffer greatly after the fact, because I don't want him to be in pain for the remainder of his days.
