Abcess? (read)
Petunia had what looked like a bug bite. Dime size lump with a scab on it. It grew over night to the size of a apricot. I kept squeezing it to drain it and flushed it with peroxide last night and this morning. I called the vet and she said no peroxide and just put a antibiotic ointment on it along with warm compresses. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Maybe A Spider Bite!


This spring, Cyndi had what in all likelihood was a spider bite that got swollen, then was oozing stuff and got infected. Antibiotic ointment didn't help it. It required a visit to the vets and a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't start healing soon, please, take her to the vets. Better safe than sorry!
