Minuet said ‘good morning’ to me with her usual loud greetings, which have been rather subdued for the last few days. This in itself was a pleasant sign. Even better was the sight of her abscess, or lack of one; it has diminished considerably. This doesn’t mean that there is no tooth damage or that something internal didn’t caused the infection, since the anti-biotic is just dealing with the infection, not what may have prompted it. But I am confident that it is an external abscess, as it leaked considerably from being inadvertently opened, probably due to Min’s scratching; there doesn’t seem to be any more puss to come out. There is an ugly scab there, and her hair is stiff, but both of those will get better with washing and grooming. She is scheduled for another doctor’s appointment next Tuesday. A more efficient examination will be conducted then than was available this week, the swelling having prevented a close look.
For now, I am optimistic that whatever her injury was, and whatever resulted from it, is on its unlamented way out.
Bless her sweet li'l pea pickin' heart. Hope it is not a tooth in the end.
ReplyDeleteShe looks much, much better! Fingers crossed it ISN'T a tooth and she'll soon be "right as rain." ♥
ReplyDeleteThat's such a relief! The swelling appeared so suddenly, it made me hope that it was caused by something that could go away just as quickly, given treatment. The same thing happened to my Lucy, years ago, and in a similar place, where she had somehow scratched it. It looked ugly, but with a bit of doctoring, went away for good in a very short time. Here's hoping the same happens with Min, and that there are *no* dental issues.
ReplyDeleteMadame is tough, and she appreciates your administrations.
ReplyDeleteMadame you look lovely in the photo, and I hope you're feeling ever so much better!
ReplyDeleteHello sweet Madam. My best to you this day. YOu look lovely and well dressed as always. I think your illness is almost gone, dear Lady of the Chateau.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed good news. Since the problem is resolving quickly, I tend to think it was a superficial abscess and now that it has drained Min will heal quickly. Please let us know what the vet says on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThis is good news, and she is looking so much better.
ReplyDeleteI've been away for a couple of days, and just reading of Minuet's issues. I'm glad to hear that she's feeling some better. Good news for certain.
