Now I'm thinking it may just be swollen and not abscessed, but I've never dealt with one (knock wood), so I'm not sure. There doesn't seem to be a hard capsule-like substance where the swelling it. She looks like she has a split lip with the top part just really swollen.
She let me clean it without too much protesting -- which reminds me, I forgot to give her a treat afterwards! :shock:--which I guess I should have been doing more often before it swelled up like that.
She has a vet's appointment tomorrow at 6 PM. I'm not sure they can do much, it may be long past being able to be stitched. I guess we'll see then.
Poor bunny!
Bun Buns, she was 'getting to know' the other bunnies in the house, and there was some biting through the fence as well as some in-cage misplaced aggression with her cage mate, Sugar. She probably was bitten more than once, she wasn't shy about getting 'in theface' of the other bunnies. She also ventured into Dill andSherry's territoryby jumping off the couch -- which Dill and Sherry had kindly, albeit reluctantly, given up to the new girls. But they weren't about to put up with further encroachment.
I've now given up on the idea of a peacefully co-existing little warren in favour of separate territories. (Now if they'd only stop markng them!)
