Dosing for SMZ-TMP sent!

The only expired drug I am using right now is the gabapentin. Everything else has a good date. When I tried the clavamox the first time she was very lethargic and when I tired to force feed her she would regurgitate it all back up. I was to the point of almost putting her to sleep. But as soon as a day or two went by without the clavamox and finally getting her to drink some pedilyte. She bounced back.
Thank you! Thank you! I appreciate everything.

You can’t have better guidance than by HRT4SQRLS. She’s amazing and a guru for meds!
I am so glad she is on board this thread. Please keep us updated on your baby’s progress.
Do exactly as she’s said with dosing.

Well, there you go! Daily improvement.
I think the daily pics are a great idea. It will provide documentation of incremental improvements.
I am thrilled by the progress in just a short time.

Oh, she is doing amazing. Running around, eating, drinking, and playing with her toys. It is crazy how quick she has turned around. She was even hanging from that leg yesterday morning.
You guys are awesome!!! Thank you!! I will definitely keep doing the updates.

The quick turn around in her wound shows what the proper antibiotics can do. If a wound isn’t healing, or an infection getting better, while on an antibiotic then it should be a red flag that the antibiotic isn’t correct or may need to be combined with another antibiotic to work well.
Thank you for taking such good care of Sherby. And thank you to everyone that helped get Sherby on the right track for healing.

I think I would start backing down on the gabapentin and also the Metacam.
By addressing the infection, the pain and inflammation should start to diminish as it improves.
I would go an entire 2 weeks on the antibiotics and reevaluate at that time. We want to make absolutely sure that the infection is gone.
