Abscesses
Abscesses are generally caused by a previous injury becoming infected with bacteria during the healing process. They appear as a lump protruding from under the skin, and may extend deep into the internal organs. It is possible to confuse an abscess with a tumor, un-laid eggs, or constipation. Only an experienced veterinarian should treat suspected abscesses, as they can determine the proper diagnosis and if it involves any major internal organs. Treatment of abscesses involves lancing and completely draining the abscess, with follow-up treatment of cleansing, dressing, and possibly an antibiotic treatment.
