Dizzycharm Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) Oh, my poor girl Dizzy (affectionately known as Dismal). About 1 - 2 months ago, we found a large lump on Dizzy's side. Took her to the vets and were given antibiotics. Within 2 days, the lump went down. Any way, 2 weeks ago, the lump started to grow again. Back to the vets and saw different person this time, and were told that she shouldn't have had antibiotocs because they don't get rid of abcesses and they come back. So were told to leave it alone and wait for it to present itself properly, so that it could be lanced and cleaned. On Friday I thought that it looked about the right time. So Monday I call vets and they booked an appointment for today. When we came downstairs, we found that it had burst - poor baby, she never made a sound. I am a bit p****ed off that my girl had to suffer all this time, when it should have been lanced in the first place. Anyhow, glad she finally feels better. She still went to the vets today, and it was cleaned etc. Here is a pic of poor Dizzy (don't look if you are a bit sensitive about these things). Close up Needless to say that she will be sleeping with me tonight Edited November 1, 2006 by kirisox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Poor girlie, though I am sure she feels better even though it is sore and looks horrid. I had a cat whose abscess exploded the evening before we were due to go to the vet. He was asleep at the time and didn't even wake up until I began to clean it.

Dizzycharm Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thank you everyone, it still amazes me how wonderful you all are for support. Here is Dismal, asleep on my bed. She is only 18" to the withers and she still manages to take up a majority of the bed. Ah, bless her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffymonkey Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Poor dizzy doglet - that looks like it was ever so sore. Hope you're feeling better soon - I'm sure being allowed to sleep in bed with mum will definitely help with the healing process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzycharm Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 The wound has healed extremely well and the skin has almost totally closed together. Dizzy is also back to her normal noisy self, and lunatic of racing games in the fields. The only thing left now, is for the hair to grow back (I expect its a bit drafty at the moment ). Its almost completely healed now. A bit closer Thank you to all that sent healing thoughts, I'm sure thats why the wound has healed so fast and cleanly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 phew that looks a lot better (and less Dismal!) Does look a bit draughty though! I am glad to hear she is back to her old self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
