Here's why:
* Abscesses are serious: They can cause pain, swelling, and infection. If left untreated, they can spread and become life-threatening.
* Only a veterinarian can diagnose and treat an abscess properly: They will examine your kitten, determine the cause of the abscess, and prescribe the appropriate treatment. This may involve draining the abscess, administering antibiotics, and possibly other medications.
* At-home remedies can be dangerous: Trying to treat an abscess yourself could worsen the situation and put your kitten's health at risk.
Please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. They will be able to provide your kitten with the best possible care.
