I've been reading Glynis's post re Duke's lump as this is what my boy Captain had at the beginning of the year. I've been checking his jaw every few days since that horrible op and he has been fine .....until last night. Couldn't believe it. I ran my fingers over his jaw, quite confident that it would be still smooth and it wasn't.......there was another lump forming, this time on the opposite side of the orginal abscess area.
We've got a vet appt tonight. I am hoping that it is not a dreaded abscess again. He's acting fine and eating as normal.
I am expecting an operation and the usual drainage routine. Here we go again.
WHy oh why do our little cuties get these horrible things?
I was thinking back to when we had piggies as kids (about 30 odd years ago) and they never had any of these ailments. We had six and they all lived to about 5 years with no vet visits at all! Yet it seems pretty common these days. Maybe some weird evolution strain going on. :'(
