Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sadie. An abscess if a pocket of infection, and if it keeps happening, then it can make her feel quite poorly. Feeling badly will lead to lethargy. She needs to see a vet for this problem to get it treated. I'd take her into a vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck.
