If you give me the names of the meds she gave you i can tell you more about then and their general use. |
Rusty has a red mesh bandage over the blue cast like bandage that has other bandages and tape on it. You will have too see in the pictures. Anyway, the drain is covered by the bandages and on Sunday, we take off the red bandage...but leave on all the others. And on Wednesday, we go back and they take all the bandages off and take the drain out...and probably rebandage.
I don't have the meds in the office...but we have used the pain ones before...maybe deramex or something like that? And the antiboitics...it starts w/ a "C" (I believe) and we have probably used it before....he has the be on the antiboitics for 14 days (twice a day). Pain pills as needed....but only half a pill at a time starting tomorrow.
