Doing the pellet mash!

Well, once again, Pixie has another abcess. This time it was a big lump on the left side of her neck. It was getting pretty big when we found it, to the point where it was pressing against her jaw and she was having trouble eating (that's when we first started to notice). Poor thing was drooling and losing a little bit of hair and weight as well. So I brought her into the vet where they fixed her up (she had to shave her a bit to see the abcess
). She's now home and still havinga little trouble eating but none the less, doing fine. Eating some good old pellet mash, homemade with a hammer and a plastic baggy
. Her veggies a also blended up as well. I make sure to not completely mash everything for she's at least getting a little solid food that way when she's better it's not so hard on her system. We also have her in a hospital pen away from the others so she can heal properly. Happiest I've seen her in days! Vet said we may have to bring her into a specialist to look at her back teeth just in case. She couldn't get a look at them while she had her because she didn't want to hurt her or sedate her any more then she had to. Other then that, things are ok, thank god!
