Mystery Illness

[Clezzi]

Hi Everyone, 

I really need some help trying to figure out what is wrong with my bunny, he is 6 months old, mini lop. He has always had a few problems like allergies and watery eyes. He doesn’t eat hay so his recently we have had to clip his front teeth. Our most recent vet has put him under and checked his back teeth and they look fine. About two weeks ago he had a big lump appear on his cheek over night. I took him to two different vets as I was unhappy with the first vet clinic. The second vet clinic said it looked like a fatty lump on his cheek and was diet related, he is very fussy and at the time was eating only pellets and carrots. So after cutting out pellets and feeding more greens the lump went away. A few days later the lump reappeared on his neck and quite a bit larger. He has been dribbling a bit, runny nose, has lost weight very quickly, the lump on his neck is hot to touch and feels a bit firm. The vet tried to draw anything out of the lump but nothing came out and no pus is coming up when he does an unltrasound, so he is thinking it is a fatty lump again.  The first vets drew blood from his neck in that area also, they thought it might be juvenile dental disease. So the current vet has no idea what is causing it or how to fix the lump. He is trying to get a second opinion. The other vet clinic isnt confident is doing the anaesthetics for xrays for dental disease. I’ve attached a photo below to see if anyone has seen anything similar. I’m really worried about him because he is losing alot of weight, not wanting to eat and just doesn’t seem like himself anymore. 

Thanks, Clare

I’m so sorry that your little one is going through this.
I don’t have any personal experience with anything similar, but am bumping in the hopes that another member will. ((((((bun bun))))))
