ANY HELP WITH ANTIBIOTICS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!

Just an update with some pictures. No flushing yesterday. Still soaked the area though. The last pic is one from 2 days ago when we got the scab off. Is the white new skin growth or maybe a wall to more puss (I hope not). Swelling is firm aounf would the rest is watery feeling .

Looks more like a wall to new pus...

You can find at any art supply or hardware store. The tip of that blade is insanely sharp. Take the blade out of the handle - you won't be using it - and sterilize it with some alcohol. Then hold the blade between your thumb and forefinger so just the very tip of the blade - about 1/8" - extends from your fingers. All you have to do is touch this white "thing" with the tip of the blade and it will be pierced, but your fingers will keep it from going in too far and hurting him, even if he moves. It is so sharp he likely won't feel it. You will know soon enough if it is pus.

That is what I used to open him up the first time. I had no idea farm and home sold sterile scalpels. Just as info they have a wide array of syringes too super cheap.

*Sigh* thats what I was fearing. Going to soak him (get the scab off) and poke him.

Gotta get this thing gone!!! I dont care what it takes to do it....

Poked it and no pus. Got everything out that would come out. Pretty good amount. Nothing like the first time though. Still watery feeling swelling. Hopefully the clavamox and clyndamyacin will come in tomorrow

He swelled up again last night. Got the scab off and going to open the wound shortly. He is on the clavamox (it seems to taste much better than the bactrim). Not as crabby today, in good spirits. I have found somewhere safe to take him. We have an appointment Monday.

Just waiting now.
