J has been monitoring a swelling on his new bull's leg.
J noticed it just starting to swell a couple of weeks ago. It has been getting bigger and bigger over the last few days. So J called the in house vet to come take a look. Quite a bit bigger than the cat abscesses that I normally deal with.
I tapped it with a needle first to make sure it was an abscess and it was so then I lanced it.
I would estimate 1/2 a gallon of very smelly pus came out. I flushed it with lots of dilute betadine then squirted in some surgical scrub. Hopefully, it will heal up from here.
Poor guy I bet he was quite releived to have thatpressure off! Hope it heals up well.
ReplyDeleteHouse vet to the rescue. I bet the TV Dr. Pimple Popper would have been interested
