Following on from another thread I started re a piggy I'm looking after...I have just given her a daily check and noticed the abscess that was operated on /removed 3 weeks ago has filled with puss. Now I have gently squeezed it & got out as much gunk (it was a bit smelly & I am still trying not to heave) as possible left it for a bit to refill & did it again. I've bathed it with salt water too. She seems alot happier too. And she lept on the purple sprouting brocolli I had forked out a small fortune for for my lunch! I am seriously glad she did because she's a delicate little thing. I weighed her and she's 820g. Which I consider small for her frame.
I have noticed over the past 2 days a VERY slight head tilt away from the abscess site - so this must have been the reason for that. As the abscess is in an area which I would call 'worrying' on her neck near her throat I can't mess around with this. Do I need to give her anti-biotics? I am quite happy bathing it with salt water for as long as I need to etc.
