More info would help, paint us a picture with words if you will. Is their a bite mark if he was bitten by something treating the wound from the outside doesn't always fix the problem, may want to administer a antibiotic or anti inflammatory etc. etc. To fight the infection from the inside.

Just based off what info you've given I'd start with some penicillin. Is the area swollen? Any open wound or just raw skin?

I don't see any bite marks, just very very raw and a small amount of swollen to almost none.....that's about all I can give you on it.

penecillan is penicilan a combi pen would work better . put some salve on it . I use udder butter for most skin irritations . it will most likely lick it off so you may need to wrap it for a bit . that veteracin is some good stuff try that as well .

I would spray vetracin on it. That stuff is expensive but works great for all wounds. I use it on myself to wen I get a cut or rash

Is there a ratio formula on on the bottle? If so, take the amount for cattle and and divide by 10. If it says for a 1000lb cow, 5ml. A 100lb dog needs .5ml. The dura pen i hav says 2ml per 150lb body wt. |

just a shot in the dark but you didn't happen to hunt him with a vest on recently did you?
the reason I ask is because I sold a dog to a "hunter" a couple years back........told the dude on the phone before I ever met him straight up that I would buy him back if he didn't like him and that I didn't run the dog with a vest.......so what did he do.......you guessed it, he bought the dog then took the dog hunting that night and put a vest on him, I got a call at 4 in the morning saying i had screwed him and callin me all kindsa names cussin me saying i got him and it wouldn't happen again and the dog needed a bullet blah blah blah until I reminded the genius that I said I would buy him back......I drove over an hour from my house after hunting all night and dropping my dogs off to go pick him back up, when we met it was still dark and I was pissed to say the least so I didn't say hardly a word to him, handed him his money and grabbed my dog........I loaded him up and went home.......... Once I got home and got him out of my truck I noticed he was acting funny and walkin pretty gingerly, thats when I noticed that both of his front leg joints were rubbed completely raw, and big blisters under his skin on both of his legs............
long story short that dude put a vest on him that was too tight and it rubbed him bad raw.......... vetericyn a couple times a day cleared it up
some of you will remember this, he was the SAME GUY that was hunting his friends dog and ended up selling it behind his "friends" back and lying to his "friend" saying he lost the dog in the woods..........he tried to sell me as well as another member in my area that dog, we ended up putting 2 and 2 together once a different member posted on this forum looking for his dog.........it was a big ordeal.

Iv got catdo that chews and lick her feet, but not an everyday event, maybe once a wk, but her feed dont change very often, except for the people food i feed her like, carrots n ranch dressing, pickles, tamatoes, potatoes, cabbage, collard greens, strawberries, grapes (in very small qty), oranges, apples, bananas and any kind of meat product we eat. |

No, Know vest was on him, NO his food wasn't changed.......I'm thinking a spider or snake bite maybe, but it's so raw I can't see a bite mark........I have some Combi-Pen-48, Penicillin G Benzathine & Penicillin G Procaine Injectable Suspension......You think this will be good and how much you think I should give??

X2 but if ur set on self medicating, follow the dosage on the bottle/syringe, its there for a reason. |
