All sounds really positive, sending some vibes, just to be on the safe side.
He's home....he actually came round from the GA better today than in November, when they said if he had been anyone elses rabbit he would have been stopping overnight. He is feeling very, very sorry for himself but has eaten & pooed.
Angie, he is a very brave little boy...apparently he was 'talking' to the receptionist not long after coming round

That's actually made me cry (again
). I've been in pieces over what to do with him for the best, Phil had to sit up with me last week because I was crying myself to sleep with worry over him and doubting my decisions about his treatment.It means so much more to me than you will ever realise to know you think I've done right by him. I will pass a cuddle on later...he won't even let Lex snuggle him at the moment....has his 'tough man' attitude on. :roll:

What brave bunnies! Mack seems like an absolute trooper!
I'm glad they are both doing well, I can't imagine the worry you must have been feeling.
You sound like a fantastic bunny mum who is doing the best for her bunnies

Here are a couple I got of the cavity, these pictures really don't allow you to appeciate just how deep and wide it is inside....I can easily get half a cotton bud in there when swabbing it out.
It's a lot cleaner now, this was taken during the first swab & flush when it was still too sore to clean thoroughly....so there is a lot of dried blood and discharge on his jaw. He has one stitch top & bottom.
It's a nightmare to clean because it really hurts him and Phil finds it difficult to help as it makes him retch :roll:.

Can i ask how this happened (how he got the abcess)? as i am not that clued up on abcesses and would like to know more, so then i know what to look out for in my buns
Really feeling for him

He had severe dental problems and we had to make the decision to remove his incisors which were eroding in his mouth, sadly this aggravated the surrounding tissue and infection set in....he has had 3 abcesses now since November, but no-one can establish how the infection spread into the second two as they are not in communication with the primary abcess or incisoral cavities.
The most common way of checking for a mandibular (jaw) abcess is to run your fingers under their mouth and check for unusual lumps and bumps. These are most common in dental rabbits.
Abcesses can come up in other area's though, Mack's wife had a retrobulbar abcess (abcess behind the eye). Sadly they are shockingly hard to treat in bunnies and even harder to cure.

Omg what a horrible thing to happen
I have 2 dental buns and both have lumps under their jaw which the vet has no worry about as of now!
Although Fudge's lumps are bigger than skyes
Is there a way to help the lumps disappear or is it a case of keeping my eye on them?
Such a shame for your poor bunny, sending him healing vibes

The lumps can also be caused by tooth root erruptions so as long as you and your vet are aware of them and monitoring them don't panic. Obviously any new ones or existing ones that start to grow need to be rechecked.
Thanks for your thoughts
