abscess

Avatar n tn My dog has what seems to be an abscess on his neck. It's underneath on the side. I only noticed when petting him. It doesn't seem to hurt him, he still has his appetite, and is as playful as ever. Do you think this is something I can treat by cleaning with a warm compress and peroxide?
Avatar f tn One bit of optimism is that her creatinine decreased from 8 to 2 in a matter of weeks only on SC fluids and Aluminum Hydroxide. In my experience the creatinine only decreases slightly. Is it possible to have the abscess removed using a local anesthetic and sedation or even very safe general anesthesia?
Avatar f tn Inn the meantime fill a clean bucket filled with hot water and two large tablespoons of salt well dissolved get a clean hand towel and immerse in the bucket then gently squeeze out and making sure its not too hot place it on your dogs abscess until it cools down then repeat this should bring it too a head and hopefully release the pus inside, never squeeze the abscess. This is not advised if you can get to a VET, it can be risky .The antibiotics are important too......

Avatar f tn There are a number of potential causes for pain around the time of eating but the most serious one is a retrobulbar abscess, or an abscess that forms in the space behind the eye. These can cause serious problems fairly quickly, including blindness and in severe cases, death. In most cases, dogs with retrobulbar abscesses are really pained by having their mouths opened -- some dogs refuse to allow this and others just scream when someone attempts to open the mouth beyond a certain point.
Avatar n tn A lump in the throat could be a cyst, an abscess, a swollen lymphnode or an area of localized inflammation due to post nasal drip or reflux of gastric contents. Since you drink, possibility of reflux are high. Please consult an ENT and get this investigated. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar m tn So I had been dealing with a sinus infection, got started on antibiotics for that 2 weeks ago.. Then a week later my throat was hurting and tonsils were enlarged, went back to Dr. whom said I had tonsillitis, caused from sinus infection.. He started me on another antibiotic.. Four days later I was feeling worse... Such as fever, flushed look, hoarse voice, could hardly swallow, and very weak..
Avatar f tn Vaseline isn't the best bet for this area. It's not water soluble and can trap bacteria underneath it. Expressing impacted anal glands is kind of like popping a zit. It's going to be irritated for a few days, and of course, the dog is going to lick any irritated area. I've found Dermachlor Flush Plus (available from the vet) to be a great antiseptic and antifungal rinse that also prevents most dogs from licking an injury.
Avatar n tn t been already - as we all know from inadvertently getting water up your nose or inhaling something, that the sinuses do drain down our throat, so if you have a sinus infection or abscess, it could be draining into your throat causing the horrid taste. It's possible that if this is the case, you notice it when you yawn because just the act of yawning stretches the mouth and can put pressure on the sinus area, therein possibly causing it to drain. Are you running any fever? any chills?
Avatar f tn Yes, impacted anal glands are common in dogs, and they usually do the "butt scootin' boogie" to advertise their discomfort. While I'm glad your friend is willing and able to express them, it's still a good idea to have a vet or licensed groomer do this - particularly if it happens frequently. Sometimes impacted glands can eventually abscess and cause a lot of pain and mess and the dog will need antibiotics to help it heal.
Avatar m tn Hi there, Any infection in the body should be treated. Dental abscesses and pus pockets in the throat warrant evaluation and complete treatment with antibiotics. Persistent sore throat can be due to many causes like glandular fever, tonsillitis, laryngitis and cancer. It is suggested to see an ENT surgeon and get checked. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!
Avatar f tn My throat is not sore, but on the left side, there is a swollen mass that is in the same area my tonsil would be. A NP was afraid it was an abscess, but my dr didn't think it was. My blood work is still out on an official mono dx, but the thing in my throat is not getting any smaller. It sometimes makes me keep like gagging. Any idea what this is? Or if I need to see an ENT to have it drained/removed? Thanks!
Avatar m tn Over the past 18 months I have had three anal abscesses, and I had another abscess approximately 6 years ago. In all cases these abscess presented quickly (within 2 days) and I have had to have 3 of 4 drained by the surgeon. My most recent was caught early so my doctor decided to try Augmentin before having me see a surgeon to have it drained. But, I'm getting concerned that this definitely doesn't seem normal for someone who is healthy and my age -- 29 years old.
Avatar n tn I use my instincts when it comes to pus-filled small boils or abscesses. At first, when my dog got one of these, I took her straight to the vet because I was nervous that if I gently squeezed it out I might cause the infection to spread. When I got there, that was basically what the vet did. But they used veterinary antiseptic, (You could use Iodine perhaps?) -soaked a pad with this, rubbed it in, and squeezed until all the pus was out for sure. Then bathed it again with the antiseptic.
1310633 tn?1430224091 I'm not sure who else to ask besides my MH friends, so here goes (this may be a REALLY stupid question, so don't flame me if it is;-)... I have a pretty bad case of strep-throat at the moment, and I've been really careful about steering clear of my wife so I don't pass it along to her (been taking antibiotics since yesterday evening, but the symptoms persist). Question: Is it possible that I'll pass strep-throat along to my dogs?
Avatar m tn It could be a dental infection/abscess and in that case, it is highly advised to see what the problem is and to resolve it. Antibiotics most likely will not fix the problem. A root canal or extraction may be needed.
793908 tn?1294705109 Your in New York and your dogs were in Arkansas...How did you get them? I'm just curious..... One of my group (Poodle) has done the reverse sneeze his whole life...I had his trachea xrayed years ago....It was narrow then....It has never changed....I do give him (All of them) a joint supplement that I feel has the same chemicals needed to keep a trachea healthy....That's just my opinion...He's 8yrs. and I adopted him at 1.
Avatar n tn Neck lymph nodes can be the result of tonsillitis, pharyngitis (infection of upper throat), infection in mouth, caries in tooth, internal ear infection, outer ear infection, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, breast cancer, fungal infection, other cancers like lymphoma etc. If you had flu like symptoms initially then it could be due to infectious mononucleosis too. In your case in all probability it is the outer ear infection.
Avatar m tn SITUATION : Gave a guy a bj and was careful to only suck the balls and the trunk. Only ONCE did i give him a deepthroat, just a one time dive and that was it. and we stopped cuz i got scared. Then i had these abscess in the butt cheeks that secrete puss but die after a month of antibiotics.. FIRST. based on the situation, what are the chances of me giving any STD to that guy? again it was a one time dive /deepthroat and stopped.
Avatar n tn I'm with krndhn. He probabably has impacted anal glands that are now leaking a bit of fluid all the time. The material in the glands is extremely foul, and the smell gets worse the longer it remains unexpressed. Some dogs never have this trouble, but it's not at all uncommon and easily remedied. You'll want to have your vet do the expression - it's usually quite cheap - and make sure that he isn't developing an anal abscess.
Avatar m tn As i was grooming my husky i found a knot the size of a golfball maybe a little bigger sitting on her right side at the base of her tail it was not there a day ago and is causing her to be uncomfortable she dont mind if we look at it as lng as no one touches..she does play hard with other dogs so im unsure if it is from her maybe falling or being tripped by another dog.
Avatar f tn In early March he developed a fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes. He saw a doctor and strep throat and mono were ruled out as a cause. The doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 3 times a day for 10 days. He felt fine after a couple of days and all was well. But about two weeks later the same symptoms returned (w/ a fever of 101.6) and the doctors ruled out strep and mono once again and put him on the same medication regimen. Could his symptoms possibly stem from a tooth abscess??
