Sent home with a Gentamicin/ Betamethosone spray to his inflamed area twice a day, and Tresaderm Liquid for his ears as they were were quite red. Should get relief from all in 48 hours. He's now sleeping soundly. He was due for his yearly checkup and shots so got that done also. I think as one of the posts above said, his fear was dreading the frequent washing of his butt that was causing him to be afraid and hide. I feel so much better now too! |
So relieved to hear it's something minor and fixable. So for the infected tail/leg area - did she call this 'pyoderma'...(layman's term is sometimes "hot spots")...?
