Thanks DanaNM. Hopefully, I will continue the critical care.

This is a bit of a tricky case. None of us here are vets and even a normal vet would most likely have difficulties assessing this just from pictures. If the finger itself is swollen there could be some sort of inflammation going on, but the fact that he doesn’t flinch when you touch it and he’s still digging contradicts a recently broken toe.

No he hasn’t had any injury , but at that day when i noticed the bump it was the same day that i trimmed his nails and he flinched but i made sure no blood came out , should i wait a few days before i go to the vet? cause he still seems okay he eats drink, etc… and its not getting worse

Might be popular.

No, sometimes bunnies get things like papillomas, which are growths on the surface of the skin. They look somewhat like warts. A bump underneath the skin would suggest something like an abscess or tumor.

Could he have had an injury? Like something poked his toe and it formed a small abscess?

Isn’t it the same thing? The finger it self is swollen and red i tried to post a clear picture but it didn’t let me

This is the photo — I recognized your post from reddit so stole the picture from there, haha.

Not only since you can’t confirm the wood treatment/type, but also due to what it is, I would just forgo using it. I don’t see rabbits using this kind of scratching board?

Are you able to add the photo to your media files? That should allow you to post it.

A lot of readily available wood is safe for rabbits as long as it’s untreated. However, apricot or peach wood must be dried for a month or more before they are considered safe. Things to avoid would be cedar, cypress, etc.

Yes, that looks normal to me as well. Keep in mind that it will look even more concentrated as it starts to dry. Rabbit urine varies a lot… even day to day. It may or may not be caused by something they ate too. So as long as it falls within the range of normal, I wouldn’t worry. Keep up the EC treatment. Hopefully it eventually helps with the…[Read more]

Hmm… it’s hard to tell. Is it a bump underneath the skin? Or is it on top of the skin, like a growth?

He has it on his top of his hand

and when i touch it he doesn’t react at all like it’s not even there

and one more thing he always likes to dig it’s his fav thing to do , and he still does it even after this bump showed up

Is this on top of the foot or underneath?

Does he react like its painful when you touch it?

BJ is perfect!

Here is Ruby relaxing. She has gone longer than usual getting her nails clipped since I’m going to let the vet do it at her annual check up next week!

That is cute! I’ve seen my rabbits do cycles of drinking/ cleaning/ drinking more but I think it’s because they don’t like the water on their chins, haha.

Rabbit urine always has a bit of sediment in it. It should have that, because if the urine is completely clear, it means the rabbit isnt expelling excess calcium like it should. It might mean that calcium is being retained in the bladder, which can lead to bladder sludge or even urine stones down the line.

Bladder sludge is a lot thicker and  pasty.

Oh really?? 🙂 you don’t think it seems too thick? Know its hard to see from a picture, but that’s such a relief 😅

If that’s the case, then it’s just the incontinence that’s the only issue if it does come back.

I haven’t checked her this evening but she’s had nearly a week of being dry.

That looks like normal urine to me!
