Strange lump on ear... Newly UPDATED

UPDATE:
Yesterday I caught him to do the operation and his bubble had grown even large and closer to his eye. I wrapped him in a towel and cut open the bubble... it popped...it oozed...it was gross. I felt bad prodding him with tweezers looking for the chunks I was told I would find because all I saw was liquid. I neosporined him and put him to bed.

This afternoon I checked on him and the cut had practically healed up, but the bubble was back! We repeated the operation with the intention of thoroughly flushing with peroxide, but the bubble didn't pop... it just sort of bled a lot and deflated some. I don't know what the deal is. We now have him in the sick ward (a rabbit hutch facing the chicken yard) so we can monitor him. We got a powdered antibiotic to add to his water. I hope that will help. We also washed his feet so he won't as easily get germs in his wound by scratching his head.

What else can I do? What else should I do for a roo scheduled to be freezer camped as soon as his adult feather are in and he has more meat on his bones?

Grrr......I don't know?? Warm moist compresses? Since he is going to be eaten make sure you know the withdrawal time of the abx. Just noticed your post was a couple of days ago. How is he doing now??​

The lump seems smaller, but it's hard to say. The packet says to medicate for a maximum of 2 weeks, and to wait 5 days before processing for food. I plan to give him another 1-2 months as long as he seems to be recovering. Poor guy hates being penned up in a cage, and I feel bad about it too, but I hope he'll recover soon. This was day 2 of antibiotics. He has another 5 days of confinement (packet says 7-14 days, so he's in it for a week even if he looks okay)
I will keep updating if things change.

NEWEST UPDATE:

Mr. Lumpy Head is still no better. He spent 2 weeks on oral antibiotics and has now had a total of THREE operations trying to get the lump gone. Even after draining it, we still feel a small lump, though it seems like it is attached to the skin of his ear lobe. Just before we had to give up on his most recent surgery, we say a black...thing...inside, though we could not get it out. We flushed with peroxide, slathered him in antibiotic ointment, and let him go. Poor guy is so patient and forgiving. I wouldn't be as nice as him if I had done that to me...did that even make sense?
I really think he knows I am trying to help and I am trying so hard not to get attached to him.
I just don't know what to do... I have never gotten any 'solid' material out of his lump, just liquid. And the next day it fills right back up, no matter how well I wash it.
