Abscesses
Posted: 06 Aug 2012 07:34
Most of you know that Harry has a jaw abscess, we've been fighting it for months, he's been on depocillin and now we've switched to Zithromax. Everyday we drain it, clean it and pack it with Manuka, he's also on Metacam.
He's still very active and happy within himself, he's running around the living room as I type, he's got a great appetite, but doesn't eat hay, so I've upped his pellet intake and added Allen and Page for more fibre.
Has anyone else got experience of this please - we'd be grateful for any advice
He's back at the vets next Monday to see if there's been any progress or deterioration, operating will only be a last resort because of his age and the site of the abscess
