If there is a scab you might try soaking it off and see if there is any drainage.

Not sure Tylan is your best choice, but it probably won't hurt. To the best of my knowledge, 1/2 cc is nowhere near enough, andTylan should be given at least twice a day. If I were going to use it for a respiratory infection or enteritis I would give 1/2 cc per *pound* *twice* a day.

Can you post some pictures?

Try to convince your husband that a trip to the vet is needed.

Unfortunately he isn't going to agree to a vet. If not Tylan 50, what antibiotic do you recommend? I'm giving 1/2 cc twice daily. Reading posts on here seem to recommend Tylan 50, at that dosage. I need whatever is available at TSC, that is really my only option.

Best pic I can get of him. He's a wiggle worm.

TSC may also sell Duramycin-10.

And if it were me I might try a ginger compress. Grate some fresh ginger and wrap it in a moist clean cloth and hold that on the leg for several minutes. It's said to be a natural antibiotic. There is also colloidal silver, another topical antibiotic. Clear iodine is something else to consider .

I've been using iodine. Will it asborb unto the skin and kill the infection?
