My rabbit has a skin lump on its leg. What should I do about it?

Question

Hi. My rabbit has a lump of skin poking out near his left leg. I have no idea how to deal with it and I am very nervous it will never go away. I don't think it bothers him but I really would like to know what it is and see if I/we can cure it. Thanks, Ellie. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | 1 year and 8 months old | 3 lbs

Hi Ellie. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! So sorry Charlie is having this issue. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be able to help you much without a photo. Can you please post again with some photos and some more information - like is the lump of skin hard or soft? Does the lump have a wound or scab on it? How long has it been there on his leg? Any injury to that leg that you know about? All I can say without photos or more information is that a lump could be anything from an abscess (infection) to a tumor. Even with a photo I am not sure we would be able to tell you much. Lumps are things that need to be examined by a vet in person so really, your best bet is going to be to take Charlie to your vet for an exam. However, if you want to post again we will try to see if we can give you more information. Thank you.
