Re: [AlpacaTalk] Bone Tumor: Update
Wow Jim. I'm so sorry.
We have a girl who had a bone abcess in her jaw. treating her with
antibiotics did clear it up and now there's only a very small lump
compared to the golf ball there used to be.
I heard of someone once who had a girl with a similar story to yours.
It did turn out to be a deep abcess also, and I don't recall the
outcome. And I don't recall who it was, either.
Sorry I wasn't any help at all. I hope you find a good course of
treatment for her!
Best wishes,
Heather
