Question
my rabbit gud gud is 7 years old . for the past 4-5 days he has developed a big round swelling on the left side of the mouth outside. could you please tell anyway out as to how to treat him.He is going healthy. Also eating and drinking his regular stuff.
Any care required

Answer
hello rahul

it sounds to me that  your bunny has developed an abcess, it is very common in rabbits especially around there mouth and jaw area.

you will have to go and take your bunny to the vets, if it is an abcess then they will have to drain it out. Make sure that your bunny has a healthy diet that contains pellet food, hay and veg, and of course loads of TLC.

hope this helps
