Simple, but perhaps not very easy, I agree. That's the concern, isn't it? Hitting an artery or nerve. This is what it says on the site:
"Make your incision with a new scalpel and just go slowly and avoid any tendons and blood vessels and slowly make your incision across the affected area making sure that you keep the incision as small as possible."
I have a good eye, and I am quite confident, as this is basically what I have been doing for the past 2 days with her. The only difference is I'd be using something sharper, opposed to tweezers, in order to remove the puss. Tweezers haven't allowed me to really get through the already hard pus to get the rest out and let it heal. A blade would just make it easier, and probably less painful for poor Bella. She has been very brave so far, and doesn't make a fuss. It must feel good to get some of the infection out. There is a risk of course, but the other risk is that she dies from infection.
If it were my choice, and my money, she'd be off to the vet.
