Abscess?

[Charlieb84]

My sweet girl had her leg band grow into the skin on her leg. The band has been removed but now she lumps and has an abscess. We’ve cleaned it with peroxide, dawn and water. Also applied neosporin… nothing helps. Help!

*the pictures are from last week… it’s doubled in size*

I would soak her legs in warm Epsom salts or chlorhexidene or betadine in the water for the infection. Repeat once or twice daily. Could you get a better picture of her footpad? It looks like there may be some necrotic (dead) tissue. If so, that may slough off or part of the limb could die. Do not use peroxide any more. It can damage the tissue with repeated use.

Thank you! I’ll try soaking.
Her feet are just super muddy in this pick that’s why it looks like dead tissue.
