Oreo's Mommy
New Kit
Hello,
I am going to keep this short cause I think I could write a book writing about these last few months since becoming a new bun mom. At this time my little Oreo is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning for what I believe is an abscess on his lower right face/jaw caused by a scratch from my cat. The two really are best friends regardless. I did not realize that the kitty needed to be clipped on regular basis until after this had occured unfortunately.
Upon researching surgery and abscesses, since even if I wanted to I cannot sleep right now, I came across your forum and discovered there may be light at the end of this tunnel yet. I read about the stories and also the studt done by using bicillin.
My question is if it is thought that surgery on this could be avoided by treatment with bicillin, or if there should be a drain then treat with bicillin, or if a c&s I believe it was called should be done first to pin point the exact bacteria of this abscess, or if bicillin will even work if this is caused by a cat scratch. If this cannot be answered on here could someone please refer me to whom I could ask. I am very worried about the process of the surgery and the implications it could have on my bun bun.
I live in a small town and while the vet is not a specialist in rabbits he is willing to listen to my ideas thankfully.
