every abscess is treated the same as if it is a cl abscess until proven other wise.

he is about 6yrs old.....he has skin sagging down around his neck area and that is where this lump is. it is in the area that ms. viki talks about in one of her posts. i am correcting a copper problem here that i have had for some time. i have learned about it from this sight. so i am wondering if it could be from that. i am keeping an eye on it. thinking about having the vet come out and look at it.............they are all pets....sue
