Mammary tumours

Question
My female intact rabbit has recently been diagnosed with a mammary tumour which is at an advanced stage (it is large). I was wondering whether you could advise on ways in which I can make her life more comfortable as I have no idea how long she will be with us?

Answer
The important thing is to keep her from stress. Don't suddenly change her routine any more than you must. Make sure she is eating a balanced diet (especially plenty of fresh timothy hay, grass hay, or oat hay). Give her toys and attention to keep her distracted from any pain or discomfort she may be feeling.
