Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
Nessa has been bravely fighting facial abcesses since she arrived here in January.
A few days ago, she started sneezing much more severely than normal, and loads of pus was coming out of her nose. One of here abscesses started to grow really rapidly pushing one of her nostrils closed
Yesteday it was so big, I don't know how she could hold her head properly so we decided to lance it. We got a fair amount of pus out and she seemed more comfortable.
In the afternoon there was the most awful smell in the house, we thought the cats had done something they shouldn't, but it was poor Nessa. The side of her face had literally exploded :shock: We cleaned her up as best we could but it is so difficult. As we washed the hole out with hibiscrub it was chocking her as it was coming out of her nose and going into her mouth
Part of her skin had turned black.
This morning the black skin fell off leaving a huge hole on the side of her face. Again we have taken as much pus out as possible but really don't want to clean it out with much in case she swollows it.
Nessa is still eating and bright, but we really don't want her to suffer in anyway, she has had too much of that in her life already.
Any suggestions of what else we can do to help our special girl would be appreciated
