Average costs of abscess?

Hi everyone. I was wondering about the average cost of abcess treatments. I live in the US but any answer helps.

My bun seems perfectly fine but the other day i noticed a bump in his mouth around the jaw. Today it seems to have dissapeared. Im going to take him to the vet but it would be nice to know what kind of numbers i may be looking at.

Thanks to all and any answers
 
hello :wave: im in the Uk but heres my thread on my two rabbits who both have abcsess's http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=271033,

to keep it short it all depends on the indivdual circumstances and what is able to be done, my two are on ongoing treatment, casper cannot have GA due to his age and other issues but my poppy has had the full works so i will give her as an example, she had x-rays to check where the abcsess was, GA to remove abcsess and part of root which was infected, then lab fees to find the best treatment which came to around 300 pound and then cleaning and check ups for two weeks twice a week which was 30 pound each time so 120 pound and she will need to go back again if any changes or the hole closes, i flush her hole with a syringe twice a day (all that does not count medcine either) but thankfully poppy is insured! x
 
It is really impossible to say !! Each case will be unique in it's specific management.

If it is a tooth root abscess then surgery is likely to be required as well as laboratory testing of swabs taken from the abscess wall, skull radiographs to assess extent of infection, appropriate systemic medication...........

I would discuss costs with the Vet once you actually know what the problem is.
