I'm a bad Ratmom...I missed Marley's neuter abscess

Man, that is one HUGE and nasty abscess!!! The poor little tyke! I hope tonight's soak forces the thing to burst! There must be 2 pounds of infection in there!

He'll be ok Sweetie. You are not a bad Ratmom! You know the little guys are capable of carrying on as if everything is peachy. That makes it hard for "mere mortals" like us to take a closer look!

Could you imagine a rat with gonads that size? Heaven forbid, he would be the Lord of the Ring with a serious attitude! :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance: :laugh4: :bunnydance:

(sorry, I'm in a bad humor right now! :wink

are you going to lance? or leave it to rupture on its own?

I don't lance...sharp objects and rats do not not belong in my hands at the same time.

I have been through a few neuter abscesses now.

I will link you to Beni's case history and then you'll see

OMG.... Beni's abscess was HIDEOUS!!!! UGH! And that out of someone who has very few problems in dealing with anything gross and infected! :sick2: :sick2: :sick2:

LOL!!! Hey, the good news is that when most things get disgusting, it is a sign that they are healing up! It's amazing what living bodies can produce to fight off infection. Beni's literally festered!

I should have been a lab scientist... the more repulsive the infection.... the more intriguing it is. :laugh4: :bunnydance:

That's ucky... I'm so glad I've never had to deal with a neuter abscess. *knocks on wood*
