A lot of people on this forum on familiar with abscesses... Very familiar. I am one who isn't. However I have run into an issue that could be pimple or abscess and I'm not sure which or what to do with it.
2? Weeks ago Hunter developed a pea-sized lump that looked like a pimple one the lower edge of his ear. We don't have money for a vet currently so we decided to keep an eye on it. A few people we have talked to said that their cat had gotten a pimple and it looked like that. We figured we would just keep an eye out.
Well then he ended up with 2/3 more. 1/2(both were so close on his nose didn't know if there were 2 or 1) and another on the lower backside of his ear.
Sometime last night the one in his nose popped/ruptured/broke whatever you wanna call it.
Posted these pictures to a local Facebook group and they'll are saying (now) that it looks like an abscess. I have never dealt with one. If it/they are... What do I do?
Original picture: Hunter and his ear one (you can kinda see some lumping on his nose)
Today before work. He wasn't happy. I took a q tip and swiped the area with hydrogen peroxide and wiped it quickly before I left to try and make sure it doesn't get infected
