How long for anal gland abscess to heal?
My poor little doxie has an anal gland abscess. We've been to the vet, she's got the cone on, she's on antibiotics and pain meds and we're doing warm compresses. My question is how long will it take for the abscess to heal? I feel so bad for her...

Generally a couple of weeks or so. Depends a little on how bad, and what it looks like. Did it rupture? Or did they manage to express it?
How long are the antibiotics for? That should give you an idea of how long your vet expects it to last.
