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.

Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Without sounding silly, how does a bunny develop a abcess like this? Poor little thing when I got in a tiz about my Charlie's ear oblation for folded ear canal, my rabbit savvy vet said to think im lucky it's not an abcess because they are really a nightmare! Now I can see why! Xx

It really could have been anything, she does live with 3 other bunnies and with the season change, the hormone change and pecking order may have been to blame in causing a squabble during the night, who knows!
The abscess has clearer up well and hasn't returned, however I'm still cleaning with saline and manuka honey which appears to be doing the trick.
She's very moody with me and all the poking and prodding
my poor baby!

I'm really glad to hear that the abscess has cleared up and not returned
I hope she recovers from her ordeal and that the rest of you are doing well :wave:

It is good to hear your bun's abscess is clearing up. Both you and she deserve a treat for doing such a good job dealing with this issue.
