I was wondering how long it usually takes an abscess to grow. I noticed a grape sized lump at around 9pm today and by 11pm it was golf ball sized. He's still got a big appetite for his liquid food. It's definitely related to molars because he chipped a front tooth awhile ago. vet said his molars looked fine at the time but now his front teeth are slanted. going to call all of the local vets tomorrow until I get someone that can lance it and look at his teeth. but I was wondering if it was weird for it to grow that fast? I could have exacerbated it with the hand feeding I think.
