The Bun was a gorgeous Chinchilla Rex who had a mahoosive abscess on her chin. It was the size of a small tomato :shock:
The weird thing was that it did not appear to be coming from a tooth root :? Christabel managed to get the entire capsule ( and the ton of pus it contained :mrgreen: ) out. The hole left went right through into the Buns mouth !! :shock: Lots of cheek tissue had to be cut so the poor Bunster is going to need lots of post op' pain relief.
The op' took ages as Christabel had to carefully cut away the abscess capsule without bursting it and without damaging too much muscle which might then effect Buns ability to chew. It was fascinating to watch and seeing the big ball of pus come away leaving nice healthy tissue was very satisfying !!
I really hope the Rexy girlie will recover, she was beautiful
