Hi Guys
I noticed a week ago a big lump under my boy Jerry's chin. Obviously the first thought was abscess so I took him to the vets.
The vet said to just give him Baytril and to drain it everyday, and he should go back to normal. He weighed 420grams.
So throughout the week I drained the abscess (disguisting yellow hard and liquid) every single night and banned him from dustbaths.
Yesterday I noticed his eye had gotten blue in the centre, and I was worried he might have gone blind in that eye. I took him back to the vets who said hes probably gone blind due to malloclusion. I argued that he was only one and that the abscess had probably spread. As usual they didn't take any notice of my opinion. He is now 370grams.
Today there is white liquid (probably puss) coming out from the centre of his eye. I have also noticed one of his bottom teeth has come off
I don't know what to do. I called the vet who has put him down for a dental xray check tomorrow. It doesn't look good
I really want him to pull through - please tell me if you have seen this before?
Thanks
(P.S I only put graphic because I was worried it might not be suitable for everyone to see)
