Jezebel has a damp patch which I noticed about 2 days ago at first I thought it might just be water from her bowl when she drinks.

Today I have had to distract her with a stick whilst I attempt to look, it doesn't feel like puss it's cold and wet and the fur is clumped together in the location.

What could it be?

I'm off to the vets at noon

Jezebel has been admitted so they can sedate her to have a look in her mouth, they are doing to do this one the consultations for today have finished.

They will ring me later before starting any kind of treatment.

If she has a dental is there anything I need to know when she's back home, different foods for a short time while in recovery?
 
After a dental we tempt Scarlet with her fave herbs to get her eating and have occasionally given her soaked pellets (if you just put them in water for 20 seconds they soften up quite alot). If they don't give it ask for some critical care in case you need to syringe feed her. I would also make sure they give you metacam to take home. They will likely give her a shot but she may need more orally after 24 hours.
 
How embarrassing, she must have got some food stuck in her fur which then matted it,then it sounds like Fluffy decided to help clean her sister but in doing so made the area red and sore.

So no dental problems just an embarrassed bunny dad who is £42 lighter :lol:
 
Good news, for Jezebel and your pocket! You'd have been over £100 quid lighter if a dental was needed.
 
Jezebel is just as damp in the same area of her face today, what could it be from? Teeth have been ruled out, I don't think it's from over cleaning as its quite damp, also it's only down her right side of her face just under the mouth.

Stuck on what the issue is but it doesn't look right
