Answer

Discovering a lump on your rabbit can be concerning. These can range from benign fatty tumors (lipomas) or cysts to abscesses caused by infection, or unfortunately, cancerous growths. Given rabbits' sensitive systems, any new lump, especially if it's growing rapidly, warm to the touch, or painful, warrants prompt veterinary attention. A vet will conduct an examination and may perform a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or biopsy to determine the nature of the lump. Early diagnosis is key for the best outcome, regardless of the cause. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
