        I have a 10 week old bunny. I’m not used to a rabbit who loves being held and cuddled like this bunny. I started brushing him and by his tail I felt a bump but it felt fatty .

        he is being his normal self, eats fine, drinks fine, bathroom poop is fine and pee is fine.

        is this something that i should make a vet visit or is it normal

          It isn’t unusual for young bunnies to allow people to hold and cuddle them. Coincidentally, this also allows you to become very familiar with them which makes it easier to notice changes. Considering his age, it probably isn’t a tumor. But, it could be an abscess from an injury when he was really small. Lipomas are generally seen in overweight rabbits.

            So do you think I should call my vet? The only way I can tell is when I pat him. It’s right above or next to his tail. I was thinking it could be some hair that is matted but it’s hard to tell.

              So I decided to get my bunny into the vet for this Friday for an exam. I’m really hoping this bump ends up being nothing to worry about

                How did things go at the vet? Hopefully it was nothing to worry about.

                  I’m taking him this Friday. That was the soonest I could get him in.

                  my vet is 45 minutes away but it’s well worth it.

                  my friend who is a rabbit owner and she said it could be a cyst but that the vet will know for sure

                   

                  I’ll keep you updated

                    Finally some good news after a scary week

                     

                    my bunny went to the vet today and had his check up. He had a cyst. The vet said he is very healthy and the cyst is nothing to worry about.  He took care of it. In 2 weeks if I notice that it has come back he will give me an antibiotic. If it continues to come back he will surgically remove it when I get him fixed.

                      That’s great! Glad it wasn’t anything serious.
