Animal attacked my Rouen...not sure what to do.

Wow she must have really put up a fight to mange to live through a fox attack. Bless her heart.

@casportpony always recc Hibicleanse good to have on hand.

 

[casportpony]

Yes, we finished cleaning wound. He said since I don't have antibiotics to keep using the hibicleanse and watch her, but for now she is calm after the ordeal.

Funny, my friend only treated people in Iraq...but she nestled her head in his arm and looked at him calmly the whole time I debrided the wound.

He said that skin cleaner is what they use is burn units and open wound treatment because it dries as a protective antibacterial barrier.

All I can do now is let her rest.

The skin cleaner you used is preferred by veterinarians and doctors. Sounds like you're doing all the right stuff.

What would be the best antibiotic to get at pet store?

A pet store is unlikely to carry much, but an amoxicillin, Cephalexin, or maybe penicillin. @Patrick McKee , maybe ask your friend what antibiotics are given to people?

 

[Patrick McKee]

I can get penicillin. He said check petsmart for a broad spectrum gram something or other fish antibiotics. They are otc and given orally.

Broad spectrum would be best (gram positive and gram negative coverage), but I doubt a pet store will have them. Won't hurt to check though.

Yep, Baytril is what I need, not going to happen...

Hibicleanse and prayer now.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Isn't pen for blood born infections?

I believe so...either way the pen is injectable so not happening. I have a number...she drank some vitamin water. But seems to be in quite a lot of pain...I might break down and take to vet.

 

[Miss Lydia]

They can give her pains meds too.
