Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | 2 years and 5 months old
Right under my rabbits rib cage on the left side I can feel a hard lump... It is about the width of 2 fingers. I thought that was his stomach. My rabbit is a dwarf hotot. So he is smaller. He has had bloat before but that is easy to recognize. He has normal tummy sounds. Eating, drinking, pooping healthy and peeing. Yet he will let me rub on it, which is not normal. I have to leave him now for about 6 hours for work. But I'm concerned. Could it just be a full tummy?

I suppose it could be a full belly, but since it is something you haven’t felt before then I would be suspicious that it is something else. If it is still there tomorrow I would recommend that he be seen by your veterinarian. Best of luck to both of you and thank you for using Pet Coach.
