Reply To: Potential lymphoma in bunny. Best options?

[LBJ10]

I’m sorry to hear about your bunny. It’s clear that you care about him very much. Sadly, this is something that we bunny owners sometimes have to face as our bunnies age. I understand what it’s like to not have a ton of money to throw at vet bills, so don’t feel bad about that. You are doing what you can. I guess my question is what are they hoping to see with a CT scan that would not be visible on an x-ray? X-rays would be less costly. With lymphoma, they would be looking for masses in the abdominal cavity. Lymphoma will often affect organs like the intestines or liver.

As for treatment, there isn’t a whole lot they can do for lymphoma. They have experimented with chemotherapy, for example, but it only buys a few months in most cases (assuming it is “successful”).
