They all just gave me an anti-biotic that was safe.It was'nt until I saw my doctor-who took the time to look it up in a book- that I was given the correct antibiotic to treat the specific bacteria.On my third visit, I made a stink with the P.A.'s and insisted that the doctors see me in person before I'd sign any releases.
By seeing them in person and having them consult with my regular doctor, the whole thing was resolved to where I am now. A day late and a dollar short but healing.......
Thanks for all the well wishes, see you in the late season.
PS-
about the cat-
He had to be quarrantined for two weeks and worked with before he'll be placed for adoption. He was terrified and bit out of fright-with good reason. The last time he was put in a carrier a year and a half earlier, they pulled his claws and cut his nuts off. What would you do?

My girlfriend is a PA and I was telling her about this. She said, "They should have immediately put him on Augmentin. It is first line antibiotic for cat and dog bites."
So now I'm curious if you don't mind me asking, what did they put you on at first and what did they finally put you on?
