Just last night tons of yucky infection stuff was coming out. My rehabber changed her .05 Baytril last night...Her name is Angel, and she is a real fighter. Again...eating very well, eliminating fine, and active....just this big knot on the joint on back leg...
Any suggestions on a drawing solution or another antibiotic that would target this better. I have heard there is a powder that draws out infection.
