Treatment
Antibiotics are given to the reptile for treatment. After the infection has cleared, the veterinarian may apply antibiotics locally (usually through injections) to treat the abscess.
Surgery is not always an option for abscesses, and should only be done under the advisement of a professional. Share this page 0 COMMENTS
