Re: Abscess?
Thank-you so much, everyone.
I really appreciate all the help that was offered and all the advice people gave me over the past couple of weeks. And all the condolences are wonderful now. I would have had a much harder time dealing with this alone. This forum is the BEST!!

Re: Abscess?

Re: Abscess?
Several years ago, when the cats presented me with snakes with abscessed puncture wounds, I would clean the wound out with peroxide and then pack it with Panalog, which I had on hand for some of them, or triple antibiotic ointment, which I had on hand another time. After a few days of cleaning and antibiotic applications, the snakes had healed fine and were able to be released back to the wild.
