DAKOTA: abscess

This morning, Dakota gnawed the bars as she always does whilst I am giving everyone the food. I saw something which looked like a sore, so I had a closer look! I found a lump in the corner of her mouth with a scab on it. The scab came off very easily and out came lots and lots of puss!

I took her straight to the vet. Ian gave her baytril, though I must say I have a feeling it won't work, but I'll give it a go. If it's no better within a week, then I will take her back and ask for Depocillin (though Ian wan't keen at all when I mentioned it ...).

Luckily, Dakota is absolutely fine in herself, eating and drinking well. She was of course a bit stressed by the travelling, but was very good at the vet's. She was also weighed and she is 4.6 kg.
