I hope Sassy is feeling better tonight.
Vet just replied saying could be an abscess from a tooth or skin growth he said. Ointment wouldn't hurt but depending on cause, results would vary. Then went on to suggest to bring her in to get it examed...Oh no! Did the vet ever determine what the previous incident(s) was/were from? Either way, maybe this time they can prescribe treatment via phone with you and try that as a solution to start with. Giving them pics will at least let you know if this has reached the point of needing drained or not before treatment. If she is not bothering it, then maybe the ointment without a cone would be OK.
Hoping you can try something before having to take her to the vet. All-in-all, if it needs to be drained, you know what you will need to do. Given all of the past, I presume you've previously looked into in-home care?
That's actually a really great idea!Hey I have nothing constructive to add but maybe a quick suggestion.
When my kitties don't feel well it is much easier for them to eat with a highly elevated food bowl which helps with any pressure in the head (aka nosebleeds, Sassy's eye, anything wounds in the mouth). It helps quite a bit when they don't have to lower their heads at all.
