A guy gave me a bulldog that looks like warmed up death. Supposedly he's a catching machine but has been sick. I took him to the vet he said the dog has staff.  He told me I could get medicine from him for about $5 a day 6 weeks worth or I can give him 1cc of baytril in the muscle daily. Well I went with the  baytril since I have a bottle in my medicine bags. It seems to be working good but he has some open sores on his legs that look like puncture wounds. Does anyone know of anything I can put on them to dry em up and get him healed up?

Hydro therapy never hurt anyone, thats just spraying it with the water hose for 3-5 minutes 1-2 times a day.  I know some people make fun of it but Vetrycin works really good too.  Good luck with your dog.

When I worked for Tyson foods (hog farms) we would put scarlet oil or clorahexidin not sure if the spelling is right on the last on but its a blue liquid you mix with water and put in a pump up sprayer the scarlet oil is the best will fix it right up on hogs have not tried it on dogs though.

For people Muprocin (spelling) works wonders on open sores i know you can give the dogs Bactrim (its a people med but safe for dogs).  My doctor gives me extras when i get a prescription filled.

Bactrim and clyndimycin is the best for staph. People and dogs. Keep it clean and give him the above medication if you can get it.
