greg1229 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Injuries....they appear to be minor from what I can tell Cat got away..but.. Looks like Bennie got a bite on his leg. One puncture wound. I've cleaned it off and put anti-biotic cream on it. He is limping a bit Tessa got a rip on the base of her ear, a bit more bloody then Bennie's leg. Looks like a bit of the flesh it ripped so have cleaned it and creamed it. Luckily I still have some Cephalexin, so those two will get a pill each day for the next 3 days till I run out. Ellie looks good and I can't get close enough to the spook foster Tidbit to check, but see no injury on her I will keep an eye on all and keep cleaning and creaming Quote Isis, Always in my Heart Bijou, My Sweetest Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbhounds Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yikes-watch for infection in the leg bite. You can give cephalexin but, one capsule (I'm assuming you have 500mgs caps) will be grossly under dosing. Dosing ranges can vary but, IMO they should get 1000mgs/day for a min of one week. Your guys up to days with rabies vaccine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guys up to days with rabies vaccine? I only hae enough for a few days at 500mg a day. Will check with getting the vet to check them out next week and get another script for them. And everyone is up to date on shots Quote Isis, Always in my Heart Bijou, My Sweetest Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourofem Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Do you have a pretty good relationship with your vet? Maybe if you called and explained, they would give you a batch of antibiotics to get them through this. My vet is so good about things like this.

Remolacha Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Well, that is more excitement than anyone needs! Everyone should be fine, but keep an eye on Bennie's puncture/bite wound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bethac Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Wow, Greg, hope all the hounds are ok. I like the idea of getting more antibiotics . . . Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 You may also want to check with your vet to see if they should get a rabies booster, even if they are up to date on rabies. We had a run in with a rabid cat and the vet wanted to give them another booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
