From my previous thread about antibiotics and silica some of you will know that zak was at the vets tuesday morning and diagnosed as having an infected grass seed entry site on his paw with no sign of the grass seed
so he was put on antibiotics for 5 days,along with warm foot baths to clear infection ad try to draw grass seed out. Otherwise we could be looking at an op
I've also started him on silica yesterday.
my question- 3 days into the antibiotics and he still won't put any weight on his foot at all. He is going round on three legs. He doesn't really want to do anything except curl up in his crate. He's eating and drinking fine tho.
Is this normal
or should he be able to put his foor down now
Should i just see how things o or have another word with vet
Really dont want to go for surgery unless we absolutely have to.
This is a first for us, we've had grass seeds in and out of their ears, in their armpits and even up striders nose but never one in the foot so i really don't know what to expect
This is his paw after i've bathed it in warm water
