This morning when I took Gandolf out for his meds and compress, I noticed the abscess had opened. I tried using a compress of warm water and epsom salt but had a hard time softening it up. So, I put him in the bathroom sink with warm water, and I was able to extract a bit of pus. There is still a pocket in there, I can feel it, but he had had enough man(woman)handling for the morning. I flushed it a little with a syringe filled with warm saltwater, and then sprayed the Vetericyn on it (I did tell my vet about it when he called to check on them, he seemed familiar with it). I will do it a few times during the day and again tonight. He doesn't seem at all bothered by it, he went straight for the vegi's when I put him back in his house. He doesn't really like apples, so I am going to get some vegi juice at the health food store to mix with the probiotics.
I think I am also going to switch to fleece bedding today, I think it will be more sanitary than the carefresh bedding I am using. Now I need to read up on how to use it.
