Bunny with Jaw Abscess (maybe?)

[Juniperthebunny]

Reading the internet is making me terrified so I’m asking you lovely people for advice. 2 weeks ago, I brought Juniper to the emergency vet because he had a grape sized lump under his jaw, which showed up overnight. The vet said it looked like an abscess and prescribed oral antibiotics so it would not grow until I get him to a vet.

Then two days later I took him to a (supposedly) rabbit savvy vet. At this point it had shrunk to marble sized. She poked it with a needle and said that it was likely an old abscess that had healed when he was treated for snuffles and it was probably hidden under fur, but migrated when Juniper was chewing particularly intensely.

It doesn’t look old though. It’s a pink lump with a scaly greenish scab on it.

I have a vet appointment for him tomorrow but for now, please pray for my baby.

Has anyone had a bunny with an abscess that had a good outcome?
