Unusual swelling of neck and chin area

[Emily76]

Maybe consider skipping a few feedings, if it is a injury or infection the scheduled feedings intervals might be negating/prolonging the healing process. Especially if it's disturbing a healing wound.

Yes I agree. I did that. She went 19 days without feeding, which really isn’t very long. I took her to the 2nd vet 6 days ago, and she said she would like her to have a small meal within a few days of the visit. I was worried and waited a bit longer than that. She ate a very small rat pup (just starting to color up) eagerly last night. I checked on her this morning and she seemed okay. She was puffy, but has kept it down.

Thank you for your help!
