You must be so relieved!

Oh no! Oh, Jim. I just don't know what to say other than to think positively. We'll get this! Even if it did form back, talk to other docs that have more experience with this and the removals. Let me know what they say, as I've been there.

She won't let me touch it.
And it feels warm...could that be because there no fur.
She's acting fine..eating/drinking/pooping/peeing (peeing everywhere)
She wouldn't let them take her temp the other day.
I might give it a try.
I think Dr.C is out of town next week...and his associate isn't too rabbit savvy.
I prefer not to go anywhere else....but will if I have to.
If it's turned into an abscess, I don't want to wait.
I'm thinking some antibiotics might keep it in check until he gets back.
Baytril?
Pen-G?
IV is probably the best...but could oral be enough? The vet would have to administer IV and/or prescribe oral.
She's 5 years old
Dutch mix
6 lbs, 7 ozs.
not spayed

If it was an abscess it would not have been filled with fat; it would have had pus and other a bacteria in it .
The fact tht it is warm (are you sure it is warm) would make me uncomfortable unless it became irritated/ possibly infected when they did the withdrawal of fluids initially.
Take her temp if you can ...

I just thought of something that happened to one of my guinea pigs. he had a lump that was growing and I had it aspirated with a needle (turned out to be malignant)
several days after the aspiration the lump got even bigger,redder and appeared very sore and almost crusty ; I was really alarmed but then learned that this was normal after a needle biopsy.
maybe there is just minor irritation at the site where the fluid was withdrawn

Maureen is right. There shouldn't be any bacteria in a fatty cyst, and with rabbits' digestive systems it's best NOT to do antibiotics unless you're sure you need them. If it's still there after any swelling from the biopsy has gone down, then you need to go back, but it may just be irritated.

She wouldn't let me take her temp. I need an extra set of hands to hold her still.
But she did let me check her.
They shaved the site so it's easy to inspect.
There's no redness or discoloration.
The skin is smooth, clean, and clear....can't even tell where he inserted the needle.
It doesn't seem to be as swollen, and is less warm to the touch.
She's acting fine.
Hopefully it was just an effect of the procedure.
I'll be keeping a close eye on her.

I would guess that it is just the effect of the procedure .........
Hope so anyway...
glad that you got on and let us know
I hope that she'll look perfectly fine in the AM

Just started following this thread...best wishes for MooShu's recovery.
She is a beautiful rabbit!
My abscess experience: We had a Holland years ago with a weird abscess on her back - our veterinarian removed it (she is rabbit savvy) after explaining how she would do the anesthesia) but what she removed was a collection of gunk (pus, blood and tissue) that had somehow encysted similar to how oysters make pearls. If the veterinarian hadn't shown me, I would not have believed that rabbits' bodies could do this. It was all benign. She lived to be 8 years old.
Hugs to MooShu and S'More -
