Clavamox did work pretty quickly.
I will tell you that one time an injection of steroid (Vetalog) prolonged the infection. Vet Derm did not support (regular vet had done it). |
I've used Mucpirocin on Lady for staph before, too. It works really well. Greasy as heck, though, isn't it?
Deb, Lady does have allergies, too. I swear by fatty acids and colostrum to boost her immune system.
I have read that dogs with severe staph allergies sometimes benefit from immunotherapy/injections. Has your dermatologist ever mentioned it to you?
