Hi, I'm new here and after advice for my rabbit.
Sweep is 6 years old and roughly 3 weeks ago was taken to the vets because he had an eye injury what we thought might of been a scratch turned out to be an abscess behind his eye, they worked on his incisors and something else and drained the abscess the best they could and put him on daily medications eye drops viscotears and Fucithalmic Vet Eye Drops+ oral medications of metacam, baytril and duphapen daily for 7 days and then he had 5 every 3 days. The last was last Tuesday. Late last week I started to notice he was dribbling a lot, we did the last of his injections and he had to go back to the vets for an x-ray to see if the abscess has gone.
I noticed that where he was shaved in his operation under his chin, the hair hasn't grown back, yesterday I noticed suddenly he had a large lump in that spot and when I touched it, it was hard and he squirmed. We called the vets today as it was too late yesterday and the vet said it didn't sound dangerous as it's not leaking & he's still eating and drinking. To make an appointment and bring him in, they don't do operations on the weekend so better to be a weekday. Nearest I could get was first thing Tuesday morning.
A few hours after I noticed he can't bend well to grab his food, I have to hold it so it's easy for him to eat. Am I to be worried as I'm thinking it's growing, whatever it may be. I'm getting sick with worry as I'm feeling Tuesday is too far off. Can anyone give any advice as to what it may be, tumour, abscess?
He used to be an outdoor rabbit but since his operation he's been living indoors. Thank you!
