cause of abcess - 02/10/12 06:23 AM
I had to take Tinkerbelle back to the vet today because the abcess in her face was horrible again. The vet had to cut open her cheek and he scraped out all the hardened puss and then he used some tweezers to kind of squeeze the abcess and out popped a hard chunk of white stuff. He picked it apart and it looked like a small claw. We originally thought Tinker's baby joey might have clawed her face causing the original abcess. How likely it is that his claw could have ripped off and stayed in her face?
The vet let me stay and hold her as he did the surgery on her and i couldn't believe the pus he got out of it. Unlike human or cat or dog pus glider pus is super slimy and sticky. I have seriously never seen anything like it and i've asisted in thousands of animal surgeries.
I absolutely love the new vet I found. He is fantastic with the gliders and he doesn't rob me blind everytime i have to take one in.
