This is how my rabbit's chin glands look like. I did not notice different behaviour of him. He is 7 years old. Should I be worried?

Thanks for reaching out about Otis and including a photo. This could be an infected scent gland but also possible dental disease. A veterinary visit is recommended to check teeth, but maybe start on antibiotics also. Good luck.
