Years ago my cat had a bump that was an abcess that burst open. I honestly thought someone shot her it looked that bad. Our vet said that had we brought her in earlier it would not of gotten so bad. I believe an abcess can also cause a form of blood poisioning? Our cat was put on antibiotics and had the area cleaned out and needed a couple of stitches.
Please don't wait till it gets that bad.
