  It looks like a meibomian cyst. Sometimes they go away on their own. You can use a warm compress on it. If it doesn’t go down or it gets bigger, a vet can lance it.

  I didn’t know the technical term for it! I too have seen this on my rabbits infrequently and they did go away on their own each time. Unsure how long it lasted but they didn’t grow or worsen prior to disappearing.

  Yeah, I think they go away on their own most of the time. They seem to be pretty common.

  I’ve never seen these on my rabbits but I’ve gotten something similar on my own eyes! They have always gone away on their own on me haha
