Some of you may remember ...http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?329455-Abcess-on-hock-(joint)
When I took Finley back to the vets last Wednesday his abcess burst at the sight where the needles had gone in to flush it about 10 days before.
Since then I have been wiping the scab with water and squeezing out the puss. Last night we couldn't get much puss from the abcess but it still looks quite big. We also noticed another ball next to the current one which we are assuming is another ball of puss. Finley is on a pain killer - Metacam.
I am worried that this abcess won't burst like the other one because there hasn't been any needles stuck in it causing a weak part in the form of a scab.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tanya
