Ok, a few days after typing that i started penicillin shots anyway, since that was the only medicine available on short notice.

 

the first 2 days went ok, at .50 doses. the third day i couldn't get the needle in for anything, gave up. 4th day did ok. i stopped there because i read that you should only give it up to 5 days.  Looked like it was healing, so i left it alone. 

 

Started swelling, a liquid swelling on the ankles and top of foot between toes..... So i put her back on the penicillin but this time at .75 the first 4 days and 1 ml the 5th  (going by another article that stated up to 1 ml for up to 10 days)  

 

Am i going too far? is the liquid swelling because of the healing and her bumping around, or does it sound bad?

A different antibiotic???? Any help would be appreciated.  I also found out today that she has roundworms or something similar, and i wonder if that is hindering her healing.

 

Again, any help is appreciated.....

 I have used Penn. for 10 days on sheep and cattle but never on a chicken. Didn't even know you could. Sorry, wish I could help you.

And one more thing...poor crippled DH needs a bit of TLC.  wink.png

Because she took a picture, remember? 

 

It will cost me...thats fine. I have plenty of cats.

I wish I could help you. I'd probably pack it with charcoal paste too. But we think charcoal cures everything. Lol

 You know, I use charcoal paste on my sheep. Sure works good for things.

So either we are both crazy or we are on to something. Actually we use it for upset tummies, nasty wounds on animals, etc. it's fixes lots of things.

charcoal paste?

 

Is this the stuff sold in syringes for helping poisoned animals, in the same spot with the probiotics tubes?  I am wondering what meds people use for staph, usually (but not always) it is the same thing..............?

I actually just open up charcoal capsules and mix it with water accordingly. How thick depends on where you put it really.
