I'll try and keep this short Basically Harley had an abscess in december 09, she had it and half her face removed. A year later another one appeared, opposite side of face, at the very end of her jawbone. This one can't be operated on as it presses into her windpipe. She was on Depocillin every other day for three months which sent it away again.
Now it's back again, is there anything else we can try? She can't have Baytril as it doesn't agree with her and didn't work on the first abscess.
I'm open to all suggestions, including any complementary therapies that can be used alongside conventional drugs, herbs flowers etc.
I honestly think this will be the end for her though, she's 7 this year and getting old. Tonight she has stopped eating willing but has eaten some porridge with painkillers in.
ETA: before anyone jumps on me, she is monitored very closely because of the location of the abscess and everything we do is done with consent of our vet
