Medical Catastrophe

Ding dong bell
Tillie's not so well.

The poor thing had an encapulated abscess - that's when the tissue round an abscess heals, leaving it enclosed in the body - and the only way to get it is to operate.


Here's Tillie in post operative intensive care on my laptop and showing off her stitches. Another week and she has to go back to Marga the vet to have them out. We have to keep a wary eye on the wound for any signs of infection build up which is pleasant, but not half as pleasant as Marga taking me on a detailed tour of the freshly extracted abscess the other evening!
