Hi!
I picked up a female pekin from my friends farm. He asked if I could help cure her bumblefoot and then just keep her. I got her home and looked and she had a feed bag string wrapped around her leg and it basically had become part of her body! Cutting off circulation and causing an infection. I took her to a rehab friend and she performed a minor surgery and removed the string. I had been treating her with an antibiotic that did not help much.
I just found an almost full bottle of clindamycin. (Dogs dental last year) I want to start her on it but I cannot figure out dosage no matter how much reading I do! And I am math challenged. She is 6.4 pounds - and my syringe is in MLs. Can anyone help with dosage? And can the clindamycin help with the infection?
