A portion of Butler's ear has gone gangrenous, and needs to be removed. The lab still hasn't replied about the pus sample we sent in. My vet can find no foreign object in the wound that might be causing the abcess to react this way. We are at a total loss. If we remove that portion of the ear and the infection continues to spread we don't know what other options are available to us. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
