This is fairly random, but I didn't know where else to look for this information.
One thing I've consistently read about rabbit abscesses is that they are so difficult to deal with because of the thick pus. It is said that rabbits lack a common enzyme in dogs/cats/humans that helps break down the pus into a more liquid form.
As some use papaya tablets for their enzymes to help break down fur, is it possible to inject that missing enzyme into the source of the abscess to liquefy it, thus allowing it to drain much more easily and quickly? Then, if the fingerlike projections are cleared quicker, they could be cleaned sooner, preventing regrowth in other areas.
Is it just craziness to inject an enzyme that isn't naturally occurring in a rabbit's body?
This has been another episode of Sara P, Wannabe MD. :roll:
