Mocha had her 4th set of shots three days ago and had to be rushed in to get a
benadryl shot due to a reaction. She seemed to sleep alot after that but was ba
ck to her normal self untill yesterday afternoon when I noticed a bump on her ne
ck in the same area where her shot was given. She cried when I touched it and I assumed it was just tender because of the shots. This morning the bump was bigger so we decided to take her to the vet. She had a 103 temp and the bump is an abscess. They drained the abscess and sent us home with antibiotics. We were told to put a hot towel on it twice a day and to try to drain it by squeezing but when we did, the abscess spread under the skin. We called the vet and he said to keep up with the hot towels but to not squeeze anymore. She is eating fine but she still feels really warm and she is very lethargic. Has anyone had this happen? I can't find anything online! Any response is helpfull and appreciated.
