Your #1 Penny-Pinching
Resource on the web!
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or table salt
1 teaspoon Betadine solution
1 cup water, boiled & cooled to body temp
Mix all 3 together, Fill a medicine syringe. Wrap your cat in a towel
gently, but firmly. Be sure to wrap his paws as well, leaving the
abscessed area open so you can clean it. If your veterinarian has
inserted a drain tube, gently insert just the tip of the syringe in the
tube opening, be very careful not to move the tube. Inject the solution
into the abscess area very slowly, as this may cause your cat to struggle
if your too forceful. Gently press the abscess pocket flat, allowing it to
drain. Repeat this procedure as often as directed by your vet.
