Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post. I still have my guinea pig, Piggie.
Piggie was very lonely and depressed and needed a friend. I then got him his best friend, bunny.
This post is NOT about a guinea pig, but rather a rabbit. I know this site is completely dedicated to guinea pigs. But, if anybody could help, or refer me somewhere, that would be great. My bunny is 1 year old, half dwarf rabbit.
First off, I live on an island. The vet is not near me. The vets close to me do not deal with small animals. She has a growth, slightly bigger than a walnut. It encompasses the side of her face and her throat. It does not appear to be an abscess, as she is not abnormally warm, and the lump is not soft in any spot. It is completely solid, and when I touch it, it does not bother her. This lump literally appeared within one week. I am giving her food by syringe, and making sure she drinks plenty of water. She is not breathing abnormally. She is using the bathroom regularly as well. I have felt the lump, you can feel it on the inside of her mouth. Her teeth or a good, short length, nothing is red in her mouth, and her mouth has virtually no odor coming from it. Does this sound like a tumor? If it does, what can I do to keep her comfortable? What should I be feeding her?
***A note, I do not neglect my animals, and I love my bunny very much. I am planning to get to the vet as soon as I am able, but of course I can't do anything tonight***
