i was looking for the source of pus on one of mynew AmChins-- A doe that came with 7 kits.
The seller had told me about this spot on her, and even before she had the kits, made me aware of a problem--
the area looked like it was healing nicely-- but I decided to 'investigate a little further--
upon "squeezing" from behind the front teeth--skin into the mouth-- (I was trying to open her mouth) some of the pus came from her nostril. So, I now strongly suspect an abcess within the upper jaw area-- as the open 'sore'( I had pulled off the scab to see what it was like underneath) on her face is just above the nose, in line with her eye. I tried using the 'box' that was gioven to me to assist in getting her to open up-- to no avail-- and in lieu of finding someone willing to help hold this HUGE rabbit so I can clean things out, I am considering just using a broad spectrum, injectable antibiotic on her for a couple weeks.
Does anyone have any experience with abcesses being so close to the sinus areas? I am pretty sure I can get this thing cleared up given time and patience. But I do not want to medicate her water. Can anyone think of an herbal that she will enjoy chowing down on? I was thinking cinnamon as a possibility.
She is otherwise healthy-- has a wonderful appetite, is friendly, nicely sized, and is tolerating heat well!!!
