My 2 month old netherland dwarf rabbit has a hard black bump about the size of a BB gun bullet. When i touch it she doesnt do anything so i dont think it hurts her. I got her 4 days ago And i dont think its getting bigger. Its right above her right hind leg. She only has one. This is my first rabbit. My dad wont let me take her to the vet because he thinks its cheaper to just replace her. I really love her and wouldnt ever want to replace her. really worried so if you know what it is PLEASE TELL ME

    "My dad wont let me take her to the vet because he thinks its cheaper to just replace her."

    Ask him if he'd do the same to you if you suddenly had a "black dot," and make him give you an answer. When he says "no, of course not, I'm your dad and care about you," answer that you're the rabbit's mom and you care about her and want the best for her and trading her in like a defective toy isn't the answer.

    Your dad thinks animals are cheap toys that don't deserve any care and to whom humans owe no responsibility. How sad that too many humans think only they themselves are worthy of "good treatment."

    It might be a tumour or a cyst. Take her to the vet.

    It might be a tumor, because my boxer dog has a black tumor on her leg and it doesnt bother her if you poke it...

    My sister's rabbit had a couple of them. The vet told her it was fairly natural as opposed to the symptom of an illness. She had them all her life and they didn't change, grow, or cause her any problems.

    Cyst are common in small animals. Its basically like fat/grease. My guinea pig had one..grew into the size of a grape. Vet said it was fine that it doesn't bother em but one day it actually popped. He had to get it squeezed so he went in for surgery and stitches. Cost about $500+ and the week he got his stiches removed he died. I guess it was too much for him :/ sad thing... two other of my hamsters died that same week but for other reasons.

    I got a closer look, its not a black dot its pink and it looks like a skin tag. It has a bit of black on it.
