New Born Pup
I got a baby piggie a couple weeks ago, and just a week after there was a huge bump on her.
Within the next 3 days it got super huge, skin was red, cut up and pus looked like it came out. Very thick pus. I didn’t touch it cus i didn’t know if it would be bad or good, and it scabbed up. It didn’t stink or leak, it was just that.
I took her to a vet and they gave us medicine and told us to flush it out, issue is they gave us nothing to clean it with or really any idea on how to do it. The scab i had to open up by pressing warm water on it, it had my piggie in so much pain she wouldn’t let me even use water to try and clean it. So it scabbed up again with the infection inside, same thing happened again. It does look better, it’s pink and it’s a clean cut instead of it being a big hole, but i can see not new pus but old pus that needs to be cleaned out, issue is I can’t do anything. She won’t let me touch it or get near it. My dad is on edge with taking her to the vet again since my own personal medical issues are already expensive. No idea on what to do.
If i can’t clean it, it’ll never heal which is torture for the baby! Do I just get the vet to flush it out then after hope for the best? Also, is this even an abscess since there’s no leaking or smell. There’s no bump anymore either, just a cut.
Thanks for any advice if anyone sees this.

it’s some sorta oral suspension (that’s what it says) to kill the infection. So far I don’t see any pus anymore In her cut.. which means it’s getting better… I'm just scared I can’t flush it out properly since I’m very unprofessional. But she’s super happy still, eating, doing zoomies, popcorning, eating etc.
