Small abdo abscess on ct post op dr treated with iv antibiotics the small abscess is now the size of a baseball in2 days no fever should i be worried ?

No worries: This depends on what the abscess is from, but don't worry, it should be able to be successfully managed regardless of the cause. Ask whomever ordered the ct scan about whether or not the abscess needs to be drained by interventional radiology, and if a consultation with a surgeon is appropriate. Hope this helps!
