Re: alisha is hurt


Glad Alisha is ok the antiboiotics should kick in quickly. It might be an idea to bathe the abcess and the area around it with cooled boiled water mixed with bicarbonate of soda. It is an excellent cleanser and healer.

Re: alisha is hurt


Not heard of the bicarb, but having been given lots of good advice from Aunty kay that has worked I'll give it a go.
I was using can of sterile saline spray I have left over from after my c section with elliot!

Re: alisha is hurt


Just batherd her leg again in what I have at the moment (no bicarb as I'm not much of a cook)

It kinds looks worse than it did this morning, this morning you couldnt see anything, now you can see a hole where the abcess obviously was. She wasnt happy about me bathing it, I just kinda dribbled the saline over it.

BUT she just played for the first time today, so it must be feeling a little less sore for her

Re: alisha is hurt


Abcesses tend to heal quite quickly once the ick is out. Just keep an eye on her that she doesn't fret it too much, and she'll be back to bouncy in no time.

Re: alisha is hurt


thanks Hreow. I am new to the world of cat abcesses! Seen plenty of human ones mind you lol.
She has only been seen washing it once, and is leaving it alone the rest of the time.
