We've battled with staph infections w/ Barney.
Ceph. never worked, neither did amox.
What works best for us is what the vet derm recommends.

simplecef x 3 weeks
Mupirocin ointment on the open crusties 2x a day
baths with Maleseb

Also - one time my former vet gave B a shot of the steroid vetalog -- totally complicated matters!!

good luck, try the simplecef, it is great for the skin. As for mucous in the poops, we have success with probiotics and avoid wet poops!
