I have had sheep with abcesses from shearing but there was always an external injury so it could easily be treated. We had to lance them and clean them out and treat with antibiotics. Not sure what an abcess in a uro would look like. I know this sounds strange, but when a human injures something that swells, ice is the first choice. The most difficult part of this whole thing is that you don't know why it is swollen so that makes it so much more difficult to try to treat it. Could you contact the reptile veterinarian for your local zoo? Sometimes their vast experience could prove helpful. I am sorry for all of you heartbreak and expense, did you check the funds available in the MOMS banner on Kingsnake, it is supposed to help with vet bills. Don't know much more about it. After all you have done for Boulder you deserve some help with Pebbles.
Regards,
Pam
