Question

My chihuahua has a abscess on her rectum area and she is in a lot of pain. What can I do for her until I can get her to see the vet in the morning. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 3 lbs

Not much to be honest a part from keeping her quiet and avoid any stress. A buster collar may be useful to avoid licking (if any). Do not use any human medications for pain as often they are actually toxic for dogs. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
