Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 IS THIS FOR YOU OR THE KITTY? Three guesses. LOL! The kitty of course. He's developed an abscess on his "cheek" and it is probably coming from his gum problems. It sticks out like a golf ball. The vet said to use hot compresses (she hasn't seen it yet), but if it doesn't help she might have to lance it. I'm doing what I can before I take him back. Not easy getting a poultice on a cat cheek. I'm hoping I can get it to break and drain. That's one reason I was asking about the DMSO. Is there anything I can put in with it to heal an abscess?

I've tried hot compresses to no avail. Can you add something to DMSO that would help topically or is there something else you can use on it? ASAP, please!

Is there > anything I can put in with it to heal an abscess? > One of my kitties just had an abscess. You do not want to think about healing till all the pus and necrotic tissue is out. Once my kitty's one burst, well that's the first I knew of it!, I then bathed it in warm water with Epsom salts, 1 teaspoon per cup of warm water as it is good for drawing toxins out. the best of luck with your poor kitty cat regards Persian -- " As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm on another list about kombucha tea and they are talking about putting kombucha "babies" on sore spots and I'm thinking it would probably work on an abcess. I'll ask and see what they say and let you know. I have lots of them so if you want one, I'll mail it to you. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
