OK, some background info:
Hotch was rescued in the summer and was intro'd to my group starting in August. He got a scratch on the inside of his left leg at that time. In Sept I noticed that it still wasn't healed so started treating the area:
Sept 6 - started on Clavamox and Polysporin (Polymxin B Sulfate, Bacitracin Zinc, Gramicidiin & Lidocaine)
Sept 16 - no improvement noted. Topical treatment changed to Canesten (antifungal). Clavamox continued.
Sept 24 - no improvement noted. Topical treatment changed to BNPH (Neomycin & Polymyxin B Sulfates, Bacitracin & Hydrocortisone Acetate). Clavamox continued.
Oct 1 - two new areas cropped up on the same side.
Oct 3 - no improvement noted. Cephalexin added to Clavamox. BNPH continued. Started with 3% Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo Mon/Wed/Fri, soak for 10 min.
Oct 7 - two newer sites seem to be healing (?). No improvement noted on initial site.
What the heck do I try now???
