[missPenny]

Penny played over Thanksgiving weekend with my brother's cat and dog. She and the cat got along great and play constantly. Monday morning I found a sore just to the side of her nose. It was red and swollen, almost resembling a blood blister. It did not drain when I checked it. It has scabbed once or twice but the swelling/pressure seemed to be slowly going down.

Tonight I noticed it is large and very pink/red again. I cleaned it with a bit of peroxide but obviously can't keep salve on it as she will just lick it off.

It's been a week and a half. How long should I expect it to take to heal? When my husband's hand was torn up from cat scratches a few years ago, it took quite awhile to heal. He had to go on antibiotic, in fact, for an infection.

Any tips? Any suggestions as to what I can do for her? Should I try a warm compress?
