Throat

Question
Is it normal for a bunny to have a round bump on her throat? I cant tell if it is her throat i feel or a bump. I hope its not an abcess.  

Answer
Dear Amanda,

Is the bump hard or soft?  If you are referring to the dewlap, the soft, fleshy fold of skin under the chin, then that's normal.  But it's not normal for any bunny to have a hard lump anywhere on the body.

If in doubt, bring the bunny to the vet for an exam, and the vet can tell for sure.
