Help: my rabbit has a large bump.

Sig seems to have a large bump/knot on his chin. He isn't in pain but I don't want it to turn into a problem. Does anyone know what it is?

EDIT: My stepdad told me that it doesn't seem to be filled with liquid so it's not an abscess.

Sorry I dont know but a trip to the vets will put your mind at rest.
my bunny has a big abcess on his side and it has quite quickly grown in size.
It's also painful for him and we are off to the vets tomorrow to get it operated on.
good vibes for your bunny
 
Thanks, good vibes for your bunny as well. I read online that it could be an abscess so I guess I was wrong with the appendage I made to the previous post. My mom is calling the vet tomorrow since they aren't open today and making an appointment

It may well be a tooth root abscess as a result of elongated tooth roots. Rabbit abscesses can feel extremely hard. You need to get your Rabbit to a Vet ASAP as if it is a Dental abscess it will require aggressive treatment.
Even it is not an abscess a lump on the jaw is 'abnormal' and requires Veterinary attention.

Good luck :)
 
Tila has a similar thing - Its very hard and is on the jaw bone itself.

My vet says his is just a callouse of bone where he's injured himself and its healed - It isn't in a position where it is under any teeth so its unlikely his is a root abcess.
