Weird jelly-like squishy lump..help.

My female rabbit has a squishy lump on the side of her body close to her neck. It kinda feels like jelly, as far as I'm aware it's not her dewlap. It's not directly around her neck, it's more on her side above her front paw. Darcey is going to be 3 in August, the past few days she's been sitting around more than usual, but when I let her & her sister out to play, they're both as happy as normal. She's eating, drinking & toileting as usual. I'm trying to convince myself she's just chubby! But the worry is really getting to me. I'm petrified it's an absess, tumour or cancer or something equally terrible. Vets open 830 am. I will take her in first thing, I just wondered if anyone had experience of this before? I'm freaking out. Thank you in advance x
 
Hiya,sorry it's not something I've come across but sure someone else on here will have. Good luck at the vets tomorrow,hopefully it'll just be a fluid filled cyst or something easily treatable!:)
 
How did you go????
Abscesses can track down.

Fingers crossed it's something simple and nothing to get white hairs over!!!! xxx
 
Small update! Taken her to Vets, had tests, they think it's just fat. She is now on a diet!! :) got to take her back in a fortnight for more tests & to see if it's improved or not. Thank you everyone for your kind messages. Will keep you posted x
