Just a couple of quick questions for all of you out there that have won the battle with abscesses!!
Would you recommend injecting antibiotics directly into an abscess?
Would you leave abscesses to come to a head before lancing of removing?
What tips does anybody have to bring an abscess to a head?
How long can it take for these to come under control?
Can they tract if you squeeze too hard when cleaning?
My bun has been on duphapen and probiotics every other day for nearly 3 weeks now since he had part of an abscess removed. I know there is no bone involvement but it tracked from a cut inside the mouth through to the outside of cheek up to the ear. He is eating ok and seems fine in himself. Vet said to carry on with injections and wait and didnt think that injections everyday would be a good idea at the moment. It is just I have another abscess pop up that was lanced and cleaned/packed with intrasite twice a day for a week but now 2 more abscesses popped up on the cheek one being behind the one I was cleaning and squeezing. Now I have to wait before I can start cleaning and packing all over again!
