Hi, Sylvia has an abscess in her ear, she has had it before and it went away with Baytril. Unfortunately this time the abscess has formed a lump at the base of her ear, which you can feel from the outside. I think it probably needs draining.
I took her to the vet on Tuesday, I asked if he could drain it and give me some more Baytril but he's being overly cautious and says it is very complicated etc, wants to take another swab (even though we did this last time) She is still eating, being normal etc, I don't think she is in pain though it might be uncomfortable because she is a bit grumpier than normal. However I just want to get it sorted! I am still waiting for my vet to get back to me, he wants to speak to a specialist clinic in Bristol and get their advice. But if she had it before and Baytril worked, then surely it should work again?
Has anyone else had this happen? Can anyone advise? Thanks, b-m
