HELP NEEDED


Recommended Posts

Lurcher got into a fight with a neighbours cat yesterday before i went to work, came home to find him limping and a small swelling underside at the top of his fromt leg, couldnt find any open wound but it was punctured,

 

Checked him this morning and the swelling is a little bigger and hes very sore on the leg, phoned my mate and he said he has some penicillin up the garden, just checked him again and he dosnt want to stand up at all, swelling about the size of a tennis ball,

 

Cant get hold of my mate for the penicillin, but ive got some ammoxcillin here and im sure some of you boys use this,

 

Need advice please as i want to give it to him streight away, hes a big dog at 28", i have 500mg capsules

 

 

Thanks Bob

i've never come across that before!! i wonder is there something in the wound causing it to swell like that??? pen and strip is great for that sort of thing... the vet will give you a bottle for about £6

hi bob the prob you have is bad brusing and alot of fluid on the mucle, ive had it befor its a foocker i know but all you can do is wait for it to go down, try to get your hands on some CLAMOXYL LA OR SOME SYNULOX LA you will need 6ml for a dog that size "PLEASE NOTE, JIB THE DOG UNDER THE SKIN NOT IN THE MUSCLE" THIS JAB WILL LAST FOR 48 HOURS

 

swelling about the size of a tennis ball? have a good feel around, if it very hard you may have to get a vet to look at it could be a torn muscel but if its squishey its fulid on the muscel.

 

please do not take what i say as gosple as i can not see the dog, its just advice, what you do with is up to you i hope it works out for u mate :) :thumbs-up:

 

LET ME NO HOW YOUR GETTING ON

Thanks for that DIGGIT

 

It is deffinatly fluid mate as i have felt it and its as you describe, hes very sore and whimpers a tiny bit when i mess about with it, but i cant feel nothing hard or sharp.

 

Hes still very babyish for a 2 year old but this is the first time hes gone into a cat as theres quite a few back and foe my garden, im pretty sure a bite has caused this as i saw what happened.

 

Any idea as to where i get CLAMOXYL LA OR SOME SYNULOX LA do i get it from the vets

 

Cheers bob
