WARNING : This video contains surgical procedures on treatment of the malar abscess in this cat. Viewer discretion is advised.. 
🐾
This cat lives in the factory unit but roams freely within the factory according to him and had never been sick for over 10 years. 
🐾
The cat was anaesthesized.
🐾
The swelling was lanced with a scalpel blade. Foul smelly thick brownish red pus flowed out of the cut.
🐾
Then the doctor used copious amunts of normal saline to irrigate and clean up the inner part of the skin wound. 
🐾
Prompt treatment by the owner saved this cat's life as the infection spread rapidly within 3 days. The cat did not have fever or become emaciated, showing that the owner did seek early veterinary intervention.
🐾
The old cat woke up fast from anaesthesia as the dosage given was very low. The risk of dying on the operating table is very high in old pets, hence the use of isoflurane gas top up is the safest procedure rather than a higher dose of injectable sedatives. 
🐾
She went home with oral antibiotics and painkillers.
