7052683 tn?1392938795 s male cat that has the fight wounds. As Opus pointed out in her comments, if these antibiotics are for human consumption under no circumstances can you give a cat a person's medicine such as an antibiotic either oral or as a cream. This is why a vet needs to see this male cat with the fight wounds to assess what this kitty needs. You say Lynn17 cannot afford a vet, but a kitty with fight wounds really needs to be seen by a vet. Are these fight wounds bite marks or claws marks or both ?
Avatar f tn honey can also help with wounds it is more potent than topical antibiotics on open wounds, i am using it now because topical antibiotics worsen infection and because oral antibiotics are among the heaviest drugs for liver in case of light infection it is a better option but if infection is deep oral antibiotics are needed
Avatar n tn Try and not wash you hair until the wound has healed. Wounds need to be clean, but also kept dry to heal properly. Once a scab has formed, the wound is sealed and the healing process will carry on under the scab. The scab will drop off on it its own when the skin is healed.
Avatar m tn An antiseptic cream such as Polysporin or neosporin should be used only when the wound is dirty, for puncture wounds and for wounds showing early signs of infection. Clean healing wounds do not require antibiotics beyond the first day. If you still want to use an antiseptic on the wound,you can go in for betadene.Before applying betadene on the cut,pls applya little amount on the skin of the forearm at the elbow joint and look for any redness.

Avatar m tn An antiseptic cream such as Polysporin or neosporin should be used only when the wound is dirty, for puncture wounds and for wounds showing early signs of infection. Clean healing wounds do not require antibiotics beyond the first day. Regular change of the dressings preferably from a healthcare provider is necessary. The aim is to keep the dressing dry and clean.If there are any signs of infection,then doctor may prescribe topical antibiotics for the wound.
Avatar n tn t do anything because my ankle is hurting. I took two different antibiotics for 10days each time. I have seen a couple of different doctors but they don't listen they said it was gout, and gave me medicine and said I should be fine the next day and I wasn't.
Avatar f tn I have a wound on my right ring finger and my left leg of which neither one will heal. I have had them for 2 1/2 months. I have been on 2 different antibiotics and 2 different prescription salves and they have not yet cleared up. They both drain a lot and the skin is very dry looking and cracked. The wounds are very red and both hurt. Tho the finger hurts more than the leg usually. I am currently waiting on some blood work return. Any clues?
Avatar n tn Your vet will examine your dog, then clean your dogs wounds by shaving away the hair, and cleaning with betadine and alcohol. Your vet will also give you antibiotics for any infection that may be present and your dog will heal.
Avatar n tn Oh, well I've failed miserably on that front I'm afraid. Why so?
Avatar m tn for which I had undergone treatment (taking antibiotics, pain killer etc)for 15 days but all those meficines were giving temparary relaxation..everyday morning again same prob of pus accumulation, pain n swelling..later doctor suggested to remove the wisdom tooth..after doing the same everything got cured in a day.. Now again after 7 years I m having same symptoms n antibiotics, painkiller continuing..it was ok for initial 3-4days..later swelling n pain increased..
Avatar n tn There are good antibiotics for snakes, just as there are for other species. Is there an exotic vet in your area that examine your son's snake and prescribe antibiotics if not too late?
Avatar n tn Yes you need to see a doctor immediately! Punture wounds are known for causing infections. The fact that you felt it pierce the joint can be serious. As the last post said you will need some tests, update your tetanus and get on antibiotics. Do you see any red streaks going away from the wound? I hope not. Please go to the ER or if they can get you into your doctor now that will be ok .
Avatar m tn i recently got tested for gonorrhea and clamydia, haven't got test results back. I got the shot in my butt and received doxycycline to take 2 time daily for 7 days. Im currently on my 5th day of treatment. My urine still burns and my throat is hurting as well. My urine color had cleared up though, (from orange to yellow). I was just curious if my medication is working?
Avatar f tn I've had a skin infection for a month now as well as hives. First put on antibiotics but taken off after a few days and put on steriods as they believed hives were the issue and not an infection. The steriods helped the hives however the infection got worse. I'm now off the steriods after 5 day course, I have infected wounds all over my legs and arms and ear lobes, they have a yellow crust and red border, they are also very itchy.
Avatar f tn My boyfriends dog bust my lip earlier and it bled for about 15 mins and swelled up, the cut is quite deep and gaping but I'm not sure if it needs stitches or not. There is a flap of skin on one side where it has been split which I can slightly lift up with my tongue. I will post the links to some pics of my lip below. Thanks for any advice. http://m.imgur.com/DCzp8Hj http://m.imgur.
Avatar f tn Within a couple of days the wounds were significantly large and weeping. For the last 3 weeks I have been on oral antibiotics and treating the wounds twice a day with silver sulfadiazine. I don't see any sign of healing and my PS will determine today if I need to be seen by a specialist. I am not getting answers to my questions about how this happened? I did not have drains in my breasts however I did in my stomach and that incision site healed fine.
Avatar f tn t test for it other theories are that IGM is an inflammatory reaction, in which case, there is no role for antibiotics, other than to avoid infection developing in the wounds from having an opening in the skin, as infection is always a possibility once you have open skin usually you will find pain relief, once your breast does start draining, as it relieves the pressure, once the fluid has a place to go...
Avatar f tn few days ago, my lover sucked and bit my nipples too hard/rough maybe. 2 days ago, i felt nipple pain or soreness. i thought it was just due to an upcoming menstruation. until yesterday, i inspected my breast and saw scabbing wounds on both nipples on the neck part. i'm a little too worried if this may be because of his biting and it developed into a bacterial infection :( i'm experiencing pain whenever i'm about to use a bra, whenever it rubs through my shirt.
Avatar f tn I'm so sorry because I don't know a good diet for liver disease/jaundice. There are many different causes for jaundice, whether it's infectious hepatitis, or liver failure, or a few different things. All I DO know is that Milk Thistle herb is safe for dogs and is a good supportive help for liver function. It is very often given to dogs. I am afraid I'm not certain of the dosage though.
Avatar m tn About a year ago I noticed an infection on the side of my body, I headed to the clinic where I was told it was an infection from a pimple. I was given antibiotics but it did not help (misdiagnosis). I kept the area clean and placed a bandage over it as it was an open wounds that was bleeding and pussing. After my wound was healed I realized that it was not a pimple but rather a mosquito bite that was most likely infected. The infection was healed and a scar remains (a bump).
Avatar m tn Oh My........You've been watching this a week and haven't sought treatment? Bless his heart......These photos are of his stomach, correct? "the one highest on his ribs seems to be swelling and when you touch it, it leaks from the lower wound" means that the Hole goes all the way through (As in a tunnel)....I suspect this is a gun shot wound....The swelling means it's getting infected!
Avatar n tn Some wounds may require packing (needs to be looked at everyday for a week or until packing has been totally removed) and intravenous antibiotics (needing to be administered 3 times a day for a week or so). This was the case for my daughter. My sister applied hot compresses to the area until it came to the surface and began draining. I'm sure she went to the doctor and received antibiotics...just not the IV type. The reason some wounds need "packing"...
