I called the office this morning and talked with the tech who had helped the vet the most in dealing with Aroara. She said they searched her face and only found what might be a tiny wound under her eye. I told her about the big spot near her ear, and she said that I could bring her by and they would look at what I was seeing. I was working this morning until noon. The vet does surgeries from noon until 3. So I packed Aroara up and got to the office about 3:15. It was swamped. I guess everyone was getting their last minute checkups before the holiday weekend. We waited about half an hour and then the same vet tech motioned us into a room. She looked at Aroara's head and said that she hadn't seen that before. She tried to shave it, but Aroara wasn't having any of that. So the doctor came in a few minutes later and looked at her. He decided that since it was going into a holiday weekend, he would go ahead and knock her out and remove the abcess. There was only an hour left until closing time, but he squeezed her in. She was passed out cold and looked so cute when I went back to pick her up. She has since woken up, but is still sort of groggy. Despite that, she has attempted to sneak outside. Those attempts were thwarted though! So I'll be leaving in the morning as planned and hoping that all goes well with the furkids until I get back Sunday evening.
They never said what they thought might have caused the problem, but I'm thinking she was bitten by a snake. Look at those two perfectly round holes in my baby's head. I took that with my cell phone because the flash on the regular camera was washing it out. I think you can get the idea though.
