lump on rabbits jaw/neck

Question
My rabbit has her teeth rasped every 4-6 weeks at the vets. This morning i have found a large lump on her jaw/under her chin. As she sees the vet so often i don't think it could have been there for any longer than 4 weeks so i am worried about the size of it. She is in no discomfort and is eating and drinking ok. The lump is hard to the touch and is the size of a table tennis ball. what could it be ?

Answer
Hi Sam,

My guess would be an abscess or a tumor.  If your next appointment is not coming up right quickly I would schedule one to have her examined.  It does sound like you found it quickly and hopefully it is just something minor.  Without seeing it I really couldn't even guess.

Good luck
