Are they on depocillin full time? I only ask because I think if Hobbes had stayed on his depo injections once a week the abscess wouldn't have returned and he might still be here :(

no - to my knowledge she's never had that - what is it ? got to take her at 5pm so might ask the vet about it ?
 
My Maisy suffered with a jaw abscess about 5 months ago. We first noticed something wrong when she was all wet under her chin so we took her to the vert and she found lump under her jaw. She operated on her but said it was worse than she thought and it would come back.

The abscess came back virtually straight away and it was much bigger.

Maisy was put down last week. She was still eating and drinking, but she was struggling and i couldn't see her suffer.

I think its penicillin.
When Hobbes first had his abscess he had an injection of it every 3 days for 4 weeks and then every 5 days for 8 weeks. The abscess cleared up but came back a few weeks later and he had the same treatment.
The vet did say at that point that it might be best to leave him permenantly on the depocillin having one injection every week but she wanted to see if he could manage without it.
The abscess then came back a third time and he died a week after treatment started again. I feel if he had stayed on the depocillin injection once a week the abscess wouldn't have come back and I might have had him for a bit longer :(
