He said he would like to put her out to express it. He said she would be very uncomfortable if she was awake. We decided no. She didn't look real uncomfortable. We took her home with an antibiotic and pain meds. I soaked her bottom a few times on Saturday and Sunday. I took her in on Monday to see her regular vet. He said yep she had an abcess again, but she was healing up well. No expression necessary and definately no anesthetic. Put a little neosporin on the sore and she should be just fine. Sure enough. Thursday night it is and she is healing up very nicely. Glad we didn't go with his idea. |
Glad she is okay. REALLY glad it wasn't painful bc it sounds like it would've been so terribly painful given the amount of swelling.
Since this is recurring, have you changed diets yet? This could all be due to her system not agreeing w/ something in her current diet.
