[QUOTE="affinenine, post: 2013063, member: 116068"] Well, we were able to get Butternut to a vet today... They were baffled by the case! The team went ahead and took a biopsy of the largest lump, removing most of it, and we are eagerly awaiting the results. The vet broached the idea that the original abscess might be a separate issue, either cancerous or benign (hopefully the latter). As for the other smaller lumps around the eye, they are indeed from a bacterial infection as doc was able to "pop" most of them. We talked about the possibility of resistant pseudomonas. Butternut is currently a bit doped up on tramadol and has a couple weeks worth of the antibiotic Fortaz to run through--quite an aggressive med. The vet also noted a bit of stomatitis that should hopefully clear up with treatment and may or may not be related to the eye infection. However, the biggest revelation was that Butternut is a male! For five years, we all thought he was a girl because of his small femoral pores, but the doc jokingly said his head is simply too big to be a female LOL. He's also going on a slight diet. 🙂 I'll keep the community posted for the biopsy results in a week or so. [/QUOTE]
