I have a rabbit Tinkerbell (Californian), she had a litter over two weeks ago (three weeks friday). In going out to check on the babies, I found two dead and one almost dead so I brought it inside to warm up. The good news is I think we were able to save the baby bunny. However, before putting them in the inside cage for the evening I wanted the baby to try to feed. So I flipped over Tinkerbell and noticed that there is a very large black scab-like protrusion on her underbelly. At first I thought Mastitis, but it almost seems to big to be that. It's about 3 inches in length, 3/4 inches in width and sticks out about a half inch above her belly. I checked her other teets and they seem to be normal (pink, no ooze, no redness).
I'd take a picture but the fur covers it up so I can't really get a good picture. Any thought on what this could be and how I can treat it? I love this rabbit, it's the family favorite, and I hope this is something we can cure or fix.
