Mister, my mini-rex auction rescue, stopped eating his dinner after just a few bites of carrot, which is very unusual for him. He had been running around eating dead veggie bits off the floor as I was putting together the bunny salads, figured it was gas again (which he had before).
As I was giving him some gas meds, noticed a skin abscess on his foot. Its small but pus was coming out and there's now a small eraser head-sized hole. I cleaned it with Betadine, it doesn't look too bad but I'm assuming it's going to take more than that to clear it up.
My vet is away and nobody I trust is open on Sundays. I have ChlorPalm here, and I might have one shot left of penicillin from Sherry and Lisa's mouth abscesses.
Really not sure if I should use the ChlorPalm or not -- I know that's what he'll probably prescribe if he goes for an oral antibiotic.
I'm still thinking he's acting more like he's gassy, but then again, what if he's acting sick because the infection is systemic? :nerves1
