If it bursts you can usually see into the hole it leaves and it just looks like a big cavity in the cat's flesh. Kind of thing that makes you want to throw up. I imagine an animal in the wild may very well die from one eventually. If you see a bulge where the hair has fallen out then it definitely has an abscess and needs to go to the vet.
Cheers Batty was hoping someone would post some advice. It just looks like a tear running down his face at the moment, and a bit of blood around his eye, and then another small tear on his other eye, he isn't opening his eyes much either but he does that regularly. Will keep an eye on him, he seems sad and has just been sleeping for the past few hours, he's eaten his dinner though so that's a good sign?
