First of all, thanks to the people that responded to my earlier water question.

A couple of months ago, Baby developed an abscess right under his nose. I am sure that he did this by bashing his nose into the wall. I took him to the vet twice to relieve the swelling. It didn't really seem to help much so I decided to wait and see if it would go down by itself. It had been looking pretty good until this last week when he started to rub his face over anything that he could reach. He was going through a full body shed and was itching everything. Now his nose is swollen again. I have started to put neosporin (3 X day) on it hoping that it would help. I would take him back to the vet but don't think that this will fix the problem. During the first visit I had his blood levels checked and they turned up fine, so I know it isn't a problem with diet. I guess my question is do you have any other suggestions of what I can do to help him.
Thanks Debbie
