noticed that pepper had quite a large lump on her face at the base of ear, I took her in to see the vet. She felt it & said it was most likely an abcess but to take an fine needle aspirate & examine it under the microscope to see . All we seen under the microscope was pus, the vet also checked her teeth & said her teeth had spikes & were growing into her cheek ( I was quite shoked at this as she eats as if she's starved ) I booked her in to have a ga to assess the abcess, burr molar teeth & xray. On xray there is an increased density in the tympanic bulla, they examined her ear while under ga and there is pus discharging into the vertical ear canal when pressed . The vet then called someone at the **** Vet School to discuss & they are saying the best options are to ct scan to confirm if the bulla is involved then a lateral wall resection/TECA as appropriate . The vet has gave pepper a poor prognosis for surgery .
She is still eating drinking and pooing as normal and because of this we opted not to do surgery as we could potentially make her worse...she's not in pain and not bothered by it at all atm . I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of anything to try, have been reading about penicillin g but most of the research is jaw abcesses . I just wish she could talk & tell me what she wants so scared I'm not doing the right thing by her...
