  I have an email into my vet but we have been hit with ice and I don’t think the office is open. I will try calling in a few minutes.
  
  We give my rabbit fluids via subQ for chronic kidney disease and bladder sludge. We gave him fluids last night. I usually watch him afterwards. I didn’t notice anything unusual. This a.m. he has a large flap of skin on/right above one of his front legs. He is hopping and eating like normal.
  
  It kinda looks like a dewlap under the chin, but a bit larger and on his leg.
  
  Any ideas?

  It could be the fluid – sometimes it takes awhile to absorb.

  I agree with Sarita. I wouldn’t worry at all in this case.

  If it doesn’t feel like it’s going down though go ahead and call the vet. But it should eventually dissipate.
