Hello...I came across this website earlier this evening as I desperately searched the internet for information regarding rabbit abscesses. My bunny is eleven years old. I've known for some time that we've been on borrowed time but I never thought an abscess would be the challenge that perhaps we wouldn't be able to overcome. My veterninarian will be calling me tomorrow to discuss several options. Because of his age,I don't know if he could survive the anesthesia if we were to try to surgically remove his tooth which my vet explained is the cause of the abscess. The abscess is small-about the size of a marble and it's located under his right eye. It came about very suddenly and so far does not seem to bother him nor has it effected his ability to eat. I am so confused. I've read about penicillin injections and how effective they can be at managing an abscess that once might have been untreatable. I would appreciate any information and opinions regarding this matter. I love this animal more than life itself and as devastated as I will be without him,I don't want him to suffer in anyway.Thank you.
