Oh dear, this neutering malarkey has not been plain sailing so far!
After chewing open his incision site, Muffin now seems to have some infection going on. One side has a gooey plug of nastiness and the other side has a big black scab and looks a bit swollen. I'm guessing an abscess.
He's on antibiotics twice a day and I've been told by the vet to clean the area with warm water but is that enough? Should I be doing a salt water soak and to to big to soften that black scab off? A warm water soak resulted in my getting my face clawed tonight, he is not a happy boy when it comes to water.
Any advice welcome!
