Hot spot

Hello everyone!

A little update about Viggo's health. Viggo recently had two hot spots in a row. In January the first one healed pretty good with antibiotics and disinfectant. Now he's had the hotspot for over 5 weeks. We tried with antibiotics (Baytril) and disinfectant for two weeks but nothing changed. Now we started new antibiotics (Clyndamicine), because apparently the bacteria were immune to Baytril. The vet discovered that there were apart from staphylococci, pseudomona present in the wound. Those pseudomona are really hard to defeat. So apart from the new antibiotics we have to wash the wound every two days with chlorhexidine (let it work for 10 minutes) and than blow dry it very good.
We hope that will work...
