Poppys lump near eye poss Root tooth Abcess

I decided to make a thread for poppy as thumps_ advised:

As some of you may know, my older bun casper is terminally ill with lots of problems one of these includes abcess's.

Poppy is a healthy 4 year old and never had any issues, eats lots and lots of hay ,always loved her hay, yet she formed a lump on her upper jaw in-line with the eye. First my vet checked her tear ducts and they were fine, she tried to look in her mouth but poppy isnt the best patient :oops: and launched herself at my vet. But she thinks it may be a root tooth abcess but without putting her under GA she cant see. So she said while she is happy, we will see how she gets on. But i went home and thought about it and thought if we dont do anything and it is a abcess its only going to get worse :( i think it got a little bigger as well and she scratches it now and again. so my vet called me today and i said i was worried so she is goiing in tomo at 8:30 for another examine and then booking in for dental. Id love to know peoples experiance with this, and support, i did write a thread like this but in "rabbit chat" :oops: so i thought it would be better in "health"
