The huge nodule which was on floss's face has come off sometime during the night and has and left a deep hole. I just wish I could take a photo of it which shows how deep it seems. Should I do anything about it? Cream etc? My gut feeling is to let it be, but just keep an eye on it.

if its clean and dry i think i woud leave it . just keep an eye on it incase it looks like its getting infected .

if your worried i would give your vets a ring in the morning ;)
 
If its started to scab over then let it be, if not I woul bathe it with a little salt water on a cotton pad just to keep it clean and promote healing until a scab starts to form.

Hope she is doing OK.
 
OOOch that looks nasty! :shock:

I would leave it H. Maybe bath it with salty water tonight just to keep it clean but I wouldn't add any creams and stuff until you quiz the vets tomorrow;) .
 
Trust Kevin to be off till Tuesday! It looks dry and I'm not sure that a scab will form as it's not weeping at all. I'm just so surprised at how deep the nodule went. It had been crust for about 3 days so I suppose it was due to come off, but still... I wonder if she's scratched if off.
 
Darn can't see pics til I get home... poor Floss.... Caramel's nodule is still firmly attached..... it feels like it goes deep too. Vibes for Floss. xxxxx
 
Thanks for all your input folks:D I've just had a thought....Will the antibiotics she's on at he moment give the sore a bit of added protection anyway?
 
I would say bathe it til a scab forms just to keep the area clean,hope she gets better soon,rick
(((((((((((((((((((healing vibes)))))))))))))))))))))))))
 
Poor Floss (and you).

I'd think that the antibiotics will help prevent any infection. If it looks clean, I'd probably either leave it or bathe it with salt water, at least it's on a clean-ish part of her body.

Lots of healing vibes

Thats exactly what I would do. ;)


Healing vibes for poor Floss. :cry: Keep me updated please H. Text me tomorrow after vets... ;)
 
I didn't take her to the vet today as the area looks fine..nice and dry and no sign of inflammation. She had the last of her meds this morning, apart from the Tiacil, and lookd a bit surprised when she didn't have a detour via the kitchen on her way back to the run!:lol:
 
It's still the same..nice and dry and no sign of any inflammation.I'll be keeping a close eye on it, and inspect it 3 times a day when she has her eyedrops done, but while it looks ok I'm leaving well alone. :)
I'll be taking her back on Friday to have her eye checked out again, so Kevin can have a look then.
