Rabbit neuter lump: Is it a hernia? When to see another vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | neutered | 7 months and 14 days old | 3 lbs

I had my rabbit neutered October 21, 2020. He has a raised area coming out of his left scrotum. I don't think it's painful. His current Vet said, just keep an eye on it for now and see if it goes away on its own, plus keep it clean. Does anyone know what the lump is and should I have it removed by another Vet. Thank you

Hi, it looks like a potential hernia from his previous neutering wound on the scrotum, but it is difficult to tell from sure from this picture only. I would recommend to see another vet with lots of experience/specialised in exotics to give you the best advice. I think it would be better to have it treated as to leave it would just cause ulceration to the area by being in contact with urine and feaces. Hope this helps
