lump on neck

Question
I have a rabbit at one time it looked like it had a double chin.  Know the lump is on the side of his neck and no longer looking like a double chin. It looks like it might be growing.  What could it be?

Answer
Dear Ricki,

The "double chin" is a normal fold of skin called the dewlap.  But if there is a hard lump growing inside it, it could be a tumor or (more likely) an abscess that must be seen and treated by a good rabbit vet ASAP.  Please read:

I hope this helps.
