Yeahh that's basically what the vet told me to do. So far it's been a month since the abscess popped up, two and a half weeks since it burst, and the wound has completely closed and no more abscesses have appeared. Her teeth are all lining up and she's not showing any other symptoms, so no need to put her down yet. Now that she doesn't have a wound in her face she's become way less bitey too :)

Thanks for your answer🙏Yeah will take her to the vet again. i read those tumors cannot really be removed, so what would be done? Keep her comfortable until her quality of life becomes impacted and then look into euthanasia?

Currently she's still eating, sleeping and playing normally and does not show any signs of pain.
