I don't have any of that stuff in the house but I smart enough not to use Hydrogen peroxide - I did that to my own open wound and was shocked when it went under the skin and blew my skin up into a bubble. And it smarted!! It's actually sealed up overnight and Bob and I want to leave it right now to see if it will knit. Then I'll go and get some Saline or Hibiciens (have never seen that at the pharmacy)and clean up his face. If it starts to grow again I'm going to take him in and have the vet lance it and take care of it right.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the help! I just don't want to aggravate it right now. It looks good around the edges and there doesn't seem to be any pus around the top.<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133634.post-86514649489340017182008-03-08T10:16:00.000-05:002008-03-08T10:16:00.000-05:00Poor guy.

Just the saline), or a chlorhexidine solution (Hibiclens is one for humans) or a *very* dilute povidine iodine solution (betadine). Don't Use Hydrogen Peroxide.<BR/><BR/>Don't squirt hard with the syringe, but get the tip in there and really flush it out. You're trying to make it heal from the inside out. SO get all that pus out. If it closes over from the top, it can trap pus, and then you've got another abscess.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Suisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005006529585506127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133634.post-32236259911283895982008-03-08T09:50:00.000-05:002008-03-08T09:50:00.000-05:00Poor Cody.
