Hi everyone! I posted a little while ago about my rabbit's runny eye .. well, I took her to the vet and she gave us eye drops which seem to be helping a little. Well a couple of days ago, I discovered that my rabbit's hair on her right side of her face was sticking out farther than it is on her left. However, I didn't think anything about it, because I just assumed it was from her fur getting wet from her eyes. Last night, when I put her eye drops in, I decided to feel under her eye (around her cheek) and it is swollen and feels hard. From what I've read online, this could be an abscess, but I'm not sure. I am the type of person that overreacts about issues like this when there isn't even a problem. Does this sound like an abscess to you? Should I take her into the vet? HELP!!
