Hi
Charlie's abscess probably hasn't got to be lanced after all as it opened by itself - I squeezed lots of puss out this morning (all on an empty stomach...) until there was just blood coming. I haven't got any antiseptic solution here so I just used salted water. I seperated Charlie from his wifes, he is on our bathroom floor now (we have got quite a large bathroom) on towels in a house now with food and hay. I haven't really got a 2nd cage and thought it might be better that way as no bedding would get into his wound. What do you think? I will try and get some antiseptic solution from the pharmacy today, but will take him to the vet tomorrow anyway as his teeth need sorting out (the abscess probably was tooth related). I will try and squeeze some more puss out later. We have got Baytril anyway so that is good. Anything else I could / should be doing today? Thanks for your help! Marion:{
