I had a horrible cold and Marmela has an abscess. Cold has been managed with paracetemol, oranges and honey but we had to get the vet in to deal with Marmela. Her little head had bulged hugely for a couple of days but no sign of the original wound. The vet lanced the bulge (jets of pus) and gave her some antibiotic. He will come back tomorrow and give her another going over. She is looking very miserable - face shaved and sprayed blue - and we are not laughing at her. I don't think I will post a photo of her - it would not be respectful.
I did find the best way of restraining cats for the purposes of pills etc. Two pillowcases one inside the other - pop the cat in and then swaddle with some crepe bandage. It is pretty escape proof - though Marmela did manage to bite the vet!
