Hello, If Delilah’s abscess is draining and she is otherwise healthy, I would just keep the area clean by wiping away the pus with a warm clothe and contact your veterinarian on Monday to discuss antibiotics. I would not use peroxide or neosporin because I do think it is necessary. And keep the E-collar on until the site has healed.
