SHOLLEN SACKS.

Mrs. PBJ · Jan 8, 2009

HI all.
storm sacks seem to be shollen
they seem like theres liquid in them. my question in i know when we bruise or hurt ourselves we form liquid around the sore point.
to protect it.

i am taking him to the vet tomorrow. i just want to make sure i am not jumping the gun.

he is eating normally. drinking. and pottying i just gave him dinner and he os acting like he never ate.

First of all, do you mean swollen? And do you mean the testicals?

Sometimes they can naturally look larger when the rabbit is hot, they seem to let them droop down more to keep them cool.

Where do you live? How old is Storm? Has ne been neutered?

This rabbit was just neutered ..right?

It is normal in some males to have extensive swelling in the sacs for a few days after the neuter. It can look scary...

if the swelling is really big and bright red go back for a recheck but if you see it fading even slightly it probably is normal and will resolve on its own.
I see the shelter rabbits all the time after neuters so I look at this a lot. occasionally a rabbit has to go back to the vet but very seldom
What day was he neutered?
