Grasping at straws here but just wondering about Milly's abscess. It's under her chin, though more on her body though hard to tell exactly. It doesn't seem to have grown much if at all since Friday.
She's so much better in herself though. She's hopping around more and last night was ravenous and ate plates of veggies and hay and even dry food which she's not eaten for a couple of weeks. She bit me today as I gave her her meds-HARD so she's definately feeling better! I compare it to syringing a crocodile-she looks at me, looks at my shoulder and ow!
If the abscess was in her jaw or a tooth root would she not be in too much pain to eat? She''s on .5ml metacam orally a day.
I know it's down to an xray really, but just thinking that maybe this isn't as bad as it could be and could 'just' be pasterella and not in the bone? She's gone through so much and I just want and need to believe we'll get through this new nightmare. Has anyone any experience of tooth root/jaw abscesses that could advise how the symtoms presented please?
