Ever since I found it last week she is inside in a smallish tub with aspen bedding. Her foot gets wrapped and tended to at least once a day, including soaking, digging and trying to get it out (which doesn't even work with tweezers). Then clear iodine, BlueKote and Neosporin before getting wrapped up in veteran and put in solitary again. I don't like keeping her all alone but that's the only way right now as she won't keep her diaper on so she can walk around inside a bit.
Will see that I get some PenG tomorrow with needle and inject it. I'm just so worried since it seems to be getting bigger, harder and hotter. I don't want it to lead to the worst all while she has to suffer and go through all the stress with us messing with her every day. She deserves better than that. And she is only a year old now
Well, in reading up on PenG it says no more than four days use and inject into a large muscle such as breast or thigh for a chicken being careful to avoid blood vessel or nerves. I'm also reading that tea tree oil is a powerful antibiotic. I may try that.
I'm also reading what type of antibiotics work for staph and I see Erythomycin, Lincomycin, Doxycycline and Sulpha drugs on the lists. Maybe some of those type might work. I guess it all depends on the severity of the bacteria.
