Lump that would not go away.
Ive posted on here before about Avia's issue and it's been a rollercoaster. She has had on and off swelling since last December under her eye. My vet originally took an X-ray and did a tooth probe and couldn't find anything but she thought she might have had a bone injury. She was put on antibiotics and the swelling went down but never totally away. Vet said this swelling may never totally go down. She was doing well but then she had a couple more issues with it swelling more and was given more antibiotics which seemed to work. About two weeks ago it really swelled up. The vet put her on the strongest antibiotic they have and then decided she wanted to sedate her again and check her teeth and do another X-ray. She also wanted to open the wound clean it out and see if she could spot anything. While waiting to get her into surgery the wound burst and started draining. She went in two days ago for her surgery and again the vet could see noting but a lot of swollen tissue inside where the wound burst and nothing showed on the x-ray for her teeth. She also tried irrigating teeth, again everything looked fine. Avia has never had a fever through all this and has been playful and eats great.. The vet wondered if she somehow got something up under the gum that has disintegrated and is now gone. This is so baffling, I just hope that after putting her through all this she can finally heal and we can be done with this but I'm so nervous it will come back again or her infection will come back. Has anyone ever had an issue like this? Picture is of the lump before it burst and started draining.
