Ida has a rash or scrape

It does look like it is nice and clean and I'd say you are right about the white blood cells doing their job. I wouldn't clean it right away but keep it dry as possible and maybe it will scab over. Try and keep her snout out of dirty places:rolleyes2:almost impossible I know.
 
I'm keeping her on 'full house arrest' today.:wink2: She's only allowed outside to potty. It's so dirty outside here it's not ALMOST impossable it IS impossable to keep them clean! Luckily I'll be home all day today so we get have lots of girly fun.:biggrin2:

I think a trip to the vet would be best for Ida...probably needs antibiotics and check to make sure it's not a tooth root abcess - doesn't look swollen and is a little close to the nose for a carnassial but from the picture it is hard to tell...could be a hot spot but I'm not a vet . Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Could be anything. My eyes are too old to see anything that far away and I can't enlarge the picture.

Sorry. I just now tried to get a close up of it for you, and my camera kept getting blurry. I'm afraid this is the best I have to offer.:( It was seeping that same yellow liquid quit a bit for a while, but stopped a few hours ago and now it has a thick dark reddish yellowish scab. At least it's sealed and seems to be gettinga little bit better. If it dose seem to be getting infected I'll take her to the vet. But for now I'm just gonna wait and see what it does for a few days and hope for the best.:fl
 
Just a little update on Ida. It did eventually scab over but apparently while ruff housing with Sarah it split open and started oozing again. After a day it closed again and I've done my best to keep it clean without getting it wet. Anyway, yesterday I noticed that the scab was coming off and this morning when I checked, the scab was gone and her skin is now pretty and pink. I still have no clue what it was, but at least it's gone now.:biggrin2:
 
Never mind! It's back! This time is the same as the last, there are no scratch marks to indicate that she scraped or bumped it. GAAH! I geuss I'll just keep cleaning it. Do I need to post a current pic? The other ones are old and this time her muzzle is bloody.:(
 
At this juncture you might want to go to the vet. An infection can become systemic, and that's something you want to avoid.
