    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Yes. Exactly the same happened with Erin in May. She was having the health check before the vaccination and vet found the abscess. She had surgery the following day which included having a tooth removed as apparently there is much higher chance of the abscess returning if the affected tooth is left in place.

Not at all. The whole bill came to about £400 that included consultation, an x-ray, the surgery itself
and she stayed at the vets for about a week (which would be about £120) because she refused to eat for a week afterwards.

The abscess hasn't returned (touch wood) but sadly she needed a dental about 4-5 months later as the tooth at the top that should have met the now missing tooth developed a spur. Apparently it's not a given that it will continue to form a spur as she might just adapt and eat slightly differently. She's also had a weepy eye on and off for the past few weeks which she never had before - probably the root of the tooth that formed the spur:( I'm just so grateful that the abscess was found and dealt with though.
