Rolo has a very swollen face and his eye looks awful
« on: September 11, 2012, 11:07:19 PM »
been to  out of hours vet , she thinks hes got an abscess, cause unknown, hes had painkillers and antib jab. hes feeling poorly and has a temperature. hes to go back in 2 days or tomorrow if worse.hes been bitten by an adder in the past but dont think this is an adder bite, but time will tell, it could be an insect bite or sting, or a root abscess of a tooth. poor wee man. he will probably need sedation to let the vet have a really good look once anti bs get swelling down as he was very uncooperative to say the least. what a wriggler, he leapt about like a fish on a hook and was not about to let her look in his mouth without a struggle.brat dog.( he didnt growl or anything just leapt about like a lunatic and was not at all willing to be helpful) its a shame tho as hes such a good wee man normally, hes just feeling crap.fingers crossed.

Oh no. Poor Rolo and poor you. Sending  :bigarmhug: to you. Hope the meds do the trick and he feels better soon.
Fingers crossed it is just an insect bite or sting. Archie found his first adder yesterday. It was coiled and ready to strike. Scared the bajeesus out of me. They are definately about at the moment.

Poor Rolo  :-\  Hope the meds kick in quickly  ;)

My cats get abscesses quite regularly - usually from being caught by a claw I think  >:(  They always clear up quickly once the a/b's get working  ;)

its gone down a lot already and his eye is back in the right place. it looked like it was bulging out and being pushed inwards like a squint. vet was also worried that the infection was behind the eye so its a huge relief to see him not looking like something out of a horror film. I stayed up with him last night. so all being well no vets today back tomorrow.hes still not keen on eating anything firm, hes still sore obviously, so hes had eggs and milk and chicken mince this morning! he ate that, slower than usual but still scoffed it. maybe he has a root abscess but his teeth are in fab condition.  vet also mention it might be an extreme severe infection of the 3rd eyelid .whatever hes improving, whew!
