Abdominal Abscess - experiences please

Hi, not posted for some time but wonder if anyone can comment please -

Buster, ex stray Dutch bunny who has been with us almost 12 months was not eating yesterday and ended up at vets - they felt a swelling in his abdomen, close to bladder (thought it was full bladder initially - same thing in December when in for sore mouth/spurs) this time vet drew off some fluid that was cloudy/milky and foul smelling. X-ray shows this is not the bladder but some sort of 'abscess'. He is eating a little by himself and receiving syringe feeds, bright and perky.

I am taking to Guy Carter later for second opinion. Original vet does not feel antibiotics will touch it and would try to remove but obv warns very risky. Guy, on the phone, says could open up and see or if eating still try antibiotics - but wants to see him first of course.

So, any ideas pls.
