well just had a snoop about and found this i no it is for humans but it also shows that if left (FK you listening) can be very bad indeed.

 

Tooth abscess

 

Pus-filled cavity in root of decaying or dead tooth, formed as bacteria infect and destroy pulp and produce toxins; tooth very tender when tapped, painful to chew on, with a persistent ache or throb, and pain sometimes radiating along side of nose or across other teeth; if left untreated, pus seeps out through root, erodes a canal through adjacent bone, and causes a gumboil, a painful swelling on the gum. Up to this point, toxins are sealed off from rest of body, but if gumboil bursts, releasing foul-tasting pus into mouth and relieving pain, there may be Fever and the lymph glands in neck and face may swell in an effort to neutralise the toxins before they get into general circulation and cause Septicaemia. Because of risk of blood poisoning, consult your doctor if there is no improvement in 12 hours if a gumboil bursts, or if abscess seems to be enlarging rapidly; antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection spreading.

 

Standard treatment of a tooth abscess is to drain pus and then disinfect and fill tooth, or remove tip of root (an apicectomy) if it cannot be disinfected, or take the tooth out.

 

 

Specific remedies to be taken every hour for up to 10 doses while waiting for dental treatment

 

 

Copious saliva, spongy gums Mercurius 30c

 

 

First hint of an abscess, tooth and surrounding gum feel hot, mouth dry Belladonna 30c

 

 

Gumboil well developed and very painful, pain aggravated by both hot and cold things in mouth Silicea 30c

 

 

well looks to me that you can not remove it but you can drain it

well said King.

 

I look at my ferrets each day, and twice I have noticed abseccess coming along. The first was a vet job because i didnt know if i could do anything myself.

 

But the vet informed me that if it appears again, soak it in warm water every day until it burst's

One of mine had a abcess on its mouth i was told it can be caused when they play rough and shit gets in the cut. I blame the parents obviousley the kid isnt responsible enough to travel alone on public transport let alone keep ferrets and if it boils down to not having the money to treat the animal you cant blame the kid for his parents not shouldering the responsibility. And if its not a kid its some tight fisted C#*t that needs a slap :realmad: .

Oh and the abcess was lanced with a course of Baytril not removed

 

oh well ive had my say now im gonna go put my ear infection on the shelf cos i cant get to the doctors

 

one other thing do they have cabs in wales?
