3 week female. 44 grams. Had two cat punctures on arrival, one in right shoulder and one on right chest.
Treated with Baytril twice per day for 5 days.
Both areas showed some redness for a few days, then looked normal.
On 5th day (while still on Baytril) an inch long red line appeared from the puncture point on right shoulder leading up towards the back. No hair loss.
It swelled up over about 6 hours, and then discharged a white pus from the puncture wound.
I drained the pus by pressing from back towards wound, and put betadine cream on the puncture, and administered a 6th day of Baytril.
Punture dried up. Then about 6 hours later it started swelling again.. and I again (just now) pressed the puss out and used betadine cream.
The pus from swelling appears to be collecting sub q.
Flush the wound with a solution? Swap to a different antibiotic?
I currently have Ciprofloxacin 250mg, Clindamycin 150mg, Metronidazole 250mg, and children's Benadryl.
