Rabbits cheek

Question
Hi I've got a rabbit he's about 2 nearly and recently one of his cheeks is like a lump and the other flat but it's the exact same as the fur not red or anything it's just bigger but I'm scared unless it could kill him or something but he's eating and drinking

Answer
Dear Elika,

The most likely cause of signs like this is a dental abscess or other molar problem.  This is definitely serious enough for a trip to the vet.  Please see:

and find a vet here via the international listings:

I hope this helps.
