I am glad she made it through. I hope she gets back to being healthy soon!

I would be careful blaming the vet, though as you can get into some legal trouble if he wasn't a part of it.. infections do happen and they are not always to blame even though he sounds like a crappy vet. It is possible that he didn't sew her back up properly is what I am thinking so the abcess grew and grew, I would honestly question him on how he did the procedure.
