  My rabbit muffin is a 3 year old female.
  She has a sensitive stomach whith loose stools.
  
  Today i held her and i could feel a small lump on her chest just under her dewlap.
  I looked closely and discovered it to be an enlarged, crusty nipple. The one next to it was only slighty enlarges and slightly crusty. I cannot see a vet until next week.
  Please help!

  Hello there. I’m sorry to hear that your rabbit is unwell. Has she always had loose stools or is that a recent thing? What is her diet like? We may be able to suggest changes to help. Recommended diet for rabbits is 85% (unlimited) grass hay, 10% leafy greens, and 5% pellets. (Unlimited hay, a small bowl of leafy greens, and up to 1/4 cup of pellets).
  
  Regarding the large, crusty nipples. I can’t comment on that at all as that really is something that should be seen and diagnosed by a vet. It’s likely they haven’t happened overnight so if she is otherwise well, and the loose stools aren’t new, then waiting until next week should be ok. If the loose stools are a new thing and she seems unwell (not eating as well, lethargic, in pain etc) then please try to get her to a vet before the weekend as it could be an urgent health issue.
