I agree, hibiscrub is good. You dont need antibiotics in some instances although some vets are only happy to oblige and charge you for the priviledge

i use omoxycilin,think thats how its spelt. you can get it over the counter in spain and the canary islands. if you know any on holidays get them to pick up a supply. but i only use it as a last resort if theres a bad infection. i use dettol on most cuts and wounds.

As far as I know Diclofenac is not an antibioyic, I am sure its an anti inflammatory.

I use Synulox/Noroclav/Clavulox they are all the same drug made by different companies. It is Amoxicillin.

If anyone wants to get some pm me and I will give them the link.
