I was checking his incisions today and I felt a bump in his left scrotum. Could there be still testicle in there?? Is that even possible? it's a little lump and it for sure feels like a bead.

You could give your vet a call and ask.... It is possibly just a little bit of swelling or some internal suture point.

I am guessing it is also some normal swelling, but be sure to check with Dr. Harvey with any concerns.  You have a great vet in Dr. Harvey.   BTW - Dr. Harvey is my vet too!   Has been for a long time.

Thanks! Dr. Harvey doesn't work Sundays-Tuesdays, she actually called my boyfriend today while i was out because he had a question on clicker training and I was like, 'Why didn't you check his scrotum and ask about that?!' I'll have to wait for at least Tuesday and hopefully it is swelling, he flinched a bit when I inspected it, so there's probably pain involved. I will continually to be on scrotum patrol!

And BB, do you just see Dr. Harvey once a year for a checkup (assuming your bun doesn't have any other emergency issues)?

LOL on the patrol!
You can still call the office and leave a message for her as she may come in on other days for a particular reason, but not see patients. Or if it is more urgent like a concern about healing properly, then the staff may relay the message to her.

Now it's only once a year and actually I have a check up for Vivian very soon. But before that I think I saw her every few months with my other bunnies throughout the years -- Bailey had e.cuniculi hind leg weakness, Rucy had to have her spurs trimmed, Jack had calcium issue and had a stone removed, so he had to have his urine checked, and Jack's lung cancer etc. So I saw Dr. Harvey regularly over the years. It has been kind of weird this year not having to see her KNOCK ON WOOD! It's only Vivian now and she's been a pretty healthy bunny even for a senior. Though I think she might be having an eye or tooth issue lately which is why I am taking her to the vet.

Thanks BB! Since you live in the Bay Area, do you have a good place where I could buy Timothy hay in bulk?

I actually did leave a message with For Paws and they told me that the bump is just swelling, I checked his scrotum this morning and it's gone down. I'm amazed my bun can still tolerate me.

Ohmy! Hopefully no more vet visits for you. Let me know what the verdict is for Vivian, what a cute name.

Vivian's name came with her.   She was at the Rabbit Rescue (SaveABunny.org) for two years before I adopted her and she already knew her name, so I didn't change it. 

As far as hay in bulk, I am not help because I just shop from the binkybunny store.    You can try the House Rabbit Society in Richmond, they may sell hay in bulk there.
