Puff has a HUGE abcess on her ear! *PICS* post 16!

[kt_luvs_kitties]

I noticed it 3 days ago(Sunday night/Monday morning), and could not get into the vet until today. The appintment is at 4:15, but I decided just to "pop in" early. My vet gets in at 10am, so I will be taking her shortly.

Please pray that she is ok, because her ear looks AWFUL! I know she is in pain, and I should be ashamed, because I could not take her to the Emergency vet earlier. (they only take credit cards, and I dont have one).

I will post an update when we get home. I just love my Puff. Her and Hannah were my first kitties, and I feel so guilty, and I hope that she will be ok. Good thoughts for Puff please

Thoughts and prayers for Puff's ouchie ear

Sending positive thoughts for puff to be just fine, i am sure when you get some antibiotics into her and get the pus drained out it will be fine, my ellie had one on her cheek, luckily it burst of it's own accord and with gentle squeezing by me and antibots it cleared up just fine and in no time, thinking of Puff and hoping for a good result.

Poor Puff, that's a nasty-looking ouchie, but I am sure it feels MUCH better now!

Sending evil looks to Kohl grrrrrrr

Puff, sweetie, I hope you feel all better really soon, and grow back your pretty white fur on that ear so you can be your beautiful self again!

Abscesses get so big so fast, I am sure the vet will fix her up lickety split.

I'm sending lots of positive thoughts to Puff, hope it's something that a dose of antibiotics can clear up.

Best wishes!

Praying that it will just require some antibiotics and will clear up soon.
Do you think it could be a hematoma? If it is, the ear flap would have been filled up like a balloon and the liquid would be red. A cat can get this if it shakes it's head too much, often from earmites or some kind of ear irritation.

I was thinking hematoma, also. Those are actually more serious than you might think and require surgery to fix completely, and unfortunately in most cases it isn't cheap.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes!!
