Hello everybody my name is Shannon and im from Alberta Canada. I have two rabbits 12yr Smokey and 2yr old Paulie. Smokey is a dwarf mix and Paulie is a black and white lop eared chubby bunnie lol We also have four dogs two ferrets a cat and snake. was looking for a cool bunny place to chat and ask a question. My rabbit Smokey has one inlarged testical and the other is just shrivled up it's been that way for over a month and right now times are really hard and if he's not in any pain is eatting drinking and playing then I really can't afford to take him to the vet.. any thoughts? :nerves1

Hi Shannon,
Welcome to the forum
I'm sorry it's not under better circumstances.
Your bunnies sound lovely. Do you have any pics?
It might be worth posting in the Infirmary about Smokey's problem. My concern would be that he has testicular cancer, or an abscess, both of which unfortunately need vet care.
I appreciate it might be hard, but it might be worth discussing a payment plan with your vet, or maybe looking into care credit (if they have that where you are-I know they have it in the US) or something like that. Another option is calling your local rescue and finding out who they use or can recommend, and also calling round the local vets and seeing who is the cheapest.
I'm sorry you're going through this but I'm really glad you're here and hopefully we can give you some support and advice to help you through this.
Take care
Tracy
