Good Morning!
Brief background; my 15lbs, 16yo spayed female had anal sac infusion for an impacted anal gland last Oct '23. I took her to the vet 6/25/24 for a strange spot on her anus- the vet expressed a very thick discharge from her right anal gland. I was not sent home with antibiotics. This last weekend I noticed that spot was coming back and had a vet appointment scheduled yesterday- the vet was sick and had to reschedule for next Tuesday.
I've been doing warm compresses 2-3 times a day and putting animax ointment on her anus 2 times per day and on wednesday started adding 2 drops of 10ppl collidal silver to her food 2x per day. Some thick discharge has been coming out with the compresses and initially thought she would be fine till next week except yesterday afternoon the discharge looked like white pus.... today her bottom doesn't look happy but no noticeable discharge. I am reluctant to take her to urgent vet today because I can't get out of work tomorrow if they are to sedate and flush etc. (Which I am nervous about)
Will she be ok until Sunday?? What else can I be doing to help keep things from getting worse? Epsom salt/cammomile compress? Can I put collidial silver on her anus? How much collidial silver should I be giving her? Can I put CBD on her bottom??
She's not scooting, seems to only lick after i put the animax on, her poops haven't been the best the last couple of days, some of her habits are off but it doesn't seem like she's uncomfortable, she's eating and drinking. I started giving her raw turkey again on wednesday which she's been CRAZY for and demanding more food. I don't know if this is because she's not feeling well or she just really loves her new food.
Thank you in advance!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
