Poor Peggy hurt her paw!!! (new update #25 + new pics)

Thanks!

Well, the abscess opened today and a lot of pus and blood came out. And she's whining and even hissing when you touch her paw. She's also licking her paw a lot.

But the vet said it's good that that the wound is now open; btw, he thinks it's a marten bite. Poor little Peggy!! And when things go very bad, it could be that the affected digit has to be amputated.

Here are some photos I took after the vet visit, they are very graphic, so please scroll down if you want to take a look:




































Doesn't it look just awful? Poor Peggy is so miserable!! She's not eating much and looks depressed, but she wanted some cuddle time after the vet visit, and she even purred when she got some bellyrubs.

Well, the abscess opened today and a lot of pus and blood came out.

Between that and the antibiotics I hope it will heal very fast. *little kiss on head for Peggy and paws and fingers are crossed for quick healing
