Cat Bite Abscess... an illustration of a process

When I was with friends the other day, I saw a cat with a bandage on it's neck. After asking a few questions I found out that little kitty had gotten into an agressive tango with some other animal a while prior. Kitty was fine for a while, no signs of pain or anything. Then suddenly it presented itself to the owner with a bunch of "goop" running down it's neck and side. Since I work at a vet, I recognized it as a cat bite abscess.

I LOVE ABSCESSES. They're so interesting. I didn't really realize that until I was explaining how they develop to my buddy. SO like the good little artist that I am, I decided to make this an illustration. I've done something like this once before with the flea life-cycle. (below)

So anyway here are some thumbnails for the Cat Bite Abscess sections.
