My guinea Squeak has had two operations in 10 days to try and clear out recurring abscesses on his jaw. Each time the incision was left open so I could flush it twice a day with saline. He was also prescribed Baytril and Loxicom. Unfortunately the lump has come back and the vet has told me that she could try and operate again and try and cut more away than before, but that she cannot guarantee success. There is also a risk because he would need to be anaesthetised for much longer than before and it would leave a big wound. She feels overall the prognosis isn't good, and that euthanasia may be the kindest option. I am devastated and am desperate to know if anyone has been through something similar who may have other options for me to consider. Are there any other treatments which have helped? I really don't want to lose my boy :-(
