Ok so we are now day 3 after abcsess cleared....he is eating and seems overall in good spirit. I was initially concerned when I picked Humphry up from vet after procedure done because there still seemed to be a residual bump (I am hoping because the lump was so large the skin was stretched?) but the tech said that was normal because of inflamation as well as skin was stretched so much because of the lump....well I have been soaking in warm water each am then after, I put pressure around area of suture to get anything trying to build up out and then flush the suture and then pat him dry and back under the heat/uv lights....this am I let him sun inside while he ate...I am going to go by the vets office to have him take a peek to make sure all looks like it should...I have a before/after photo here.
