Before you ask… no, Jasper is not AI 😭
Though he’s so cute we may have had to check his vitals a few extra times just to make sure he was real.
Jasper originally came to see us for a ruptured abscess that required wound care and a tie-over bandage. A tie-over bandage is a technique where bandaging material is secured directly over a wound using sutures, helping keep medications and dressings in place while protecting the area and promoting healing.
We’re happy to report that Jasper’s wound is healing BEAUTIFULLY! While our team deserves a little credit, we think his adorable recovery outfit has been doing some heavy lifting by preventing him from scratching at the site.
Abscesses are common in cats and often develop after bite wounds, scratches, or other injuries. Signs of an abscess can include swelling, redness, pain, drainage, a foul odor, decreased appetite, lethargy, or hiding more than usual.
Early intervention is key. Abscesses can worsen quickly, allowing infection to spread deeper into surrounding tissues and resulting in delayed wound healing or more extensive treatment.
If you think your pet may have an abscess or any suspicious swelling, don’t wait to have it evaluated. The sooner treatment is started, the better the outcome is likely to be.
If you think your pet has an abscess, come see us right away!
