What is Flamazine? An antibiotic?

Flamazine is a antibiotic ointment that they use on burn victims, etc. Dr Munn loves the stuff apparently
Her routine right now is get the scab off that has formed, then take the sterile saline, use a syringe to pull up 1 ml, then unscrew the needle. Flush the cavity vigorously, then using the flamazine and a syringe, push it right into the cavity. AFter this the boring Intrasite gel goes on her rapidly closing wound on her leg
I am supposed to flush 1 to 2 times a day and same for the Flamazine. I decided to flush twice and use the Flamazine in the morning.
She's down to 269 grams again...sigh, she gets stressed and won't eat, so now I have to build her back up again.

I hope she feels better soon, she just can't seem to catch a break. Good news about it being just an abscess, though. You must be magic with the treatments, though. I could hardly get my boys to sit still the two seconds it too to put medicine in their mouths. I can only imagine what you're doing. She must be so patient. <3

Hahah she's horribly squirmy...it seems like there are 6 little front paws pushing me away, but I persist, stop when she's getting too stressed for cuddles and kisses, and we get the job done :thumbup:

Picky lass. I almost lose my finger with the 3 other ladies and she just turns her head aside LOL I am going to mix it in with baby cereal next just a little at a time.violet976

Unfortunately Adira's jaw abscess healed too quickly and she is going in tomorrow for another look-see, possible lancing to clean it out again...poor Adira
the yellow is UNDER the skin
BUT in great news, about 3 days ago I weighed her and she was a whopping 289 grams!! For comparison, she was 256 g after her surgery, 248 grams after all the vet visits/stress and her leg. So this is a lovely gain. She is solid and bright and this morning I even found her toddling on the wheel for the first time ever!!! :toothy2:

Lovely Adira...
I hope Dr. Munn can get things cleared up. The location looks like it's tooth-related.
I'm so glad she has gained some much needed weight!

Wellll...
Dr Munn has no clue what is wrong with my Adira. BUT it has not closed up, that yellow you see is her jaw bone.
We are switching her to 1/2 saline, 1/2 hydrogen peroxide flushes, and her abs will be the HATED Chloramphenicol Palmitate.
Lets see what happens this time
They adore her at the clinic, calling her lovely. :heart:

So happy that she has discovered the wheel! Fingers crossed that Chlorpalm will do the trick.

Hmmm, osteonecrosis of the jaw?
Poor lovely Adira...
Is she still gaining weight?

No idea but Dr Munn is sure that its not involving the teeth still, there's just no indications of it. She sadly got bored and chewed her leg muscle again...bugger. She's a funny little thing
She is much happier and solid and the greedy guts now snatches food from me whereas she wouldn't before...that there is a huge improvement. I am making sure she gets Ensure and baby cereal alternated as an evening snack to keep the weight gain going
