Oh my poor Sugar has had more issues with her left foot following an amputation of her left toe from infection in May of last year.
Now, she’s got a big honker on her heel (site of amputation).
We went to the vet, and agreed that this was NOT bumblefoot. She had a week or 2 with Metacam, no improvement, while we were waiting on culture results. No thanks to USPS to delaying delivery to the lab! 2 weeks, thank you USPS!
Results can in today, which indicated staphylococcus and ecolI. My vet sent a subscription to CVS, and asked me if I wanted injectable, pills or oral meds. I said injectable, because it’s easier, but he said the oral liquid might be more effective.
the medicine is sulfamthoxaz, which I believe is Baytril.
So, in gathering opinions, which is the best method? Oral or injectable?
thanks as always.
