Baffled... any ideas?

I had a baby bun admitted to the hospital today... now I can't believe this, this is the second case this week. Someone's cat either brings a baby bun in or their dog digs up a nest. The people then take the tiny kits and hand rear them... feeding on lettuce and dog milk and yes...... they survive :shock: A tiny baby was brought in today, and has been living in a bedroom with a 5 year old, being constantly handled and fed lettuce and nuts.... and he has survived. :shock::shock::shock: for 3 weeks so far, like this?!

So I admitted the little bun this morning and put him/her in with the other 5 kits that came in this week from a similar circumstance. However he has a lump on his nose... his whole little nosey looks like a little button mushroom. As I left I asked that the vet take a look. I am concerned it could be an abscess... it didn't look like myxi adn there were no other signs on the bun of any problems.

Could a bun as little as 3 - 4 weeks old have baytril if it were an abscess? Any other ideas as to what it could be.
 
Yes they can have Baytril though I assume the vet would proceed with caution due to their delicate tummies. My first thoughts would be Myxi followed by an abcess/infection, foreign body or growth.
