Rabbit with a swollen cheek near the eye: how urgent is it?
What they asked
Dutch rabbit 7 months, the right chic is swollen, close to the eyes, it's beginning to bring pores
I would highly recommend getting this rabbit evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible as I'm concerned about an active infection.

Ask Dylan a questionAnswered from your description alone, without examining your pet. That makes this general information, not a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription, and it is not intended to establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. There is only so much anyone can tell from a message. For guidance specific to your pet, book an appointment so a vet can examine them properly.
