and this one??
Doug (PRT) has had a fascination with his rear end for 2-3 days, and yesterday went absolutely crazy eating grass…..not usually a grass eater. This morning he had a large hard red swelling on one side, so I thought I’d better not tackle his anal glands myself this time.
Vet diagnosed an abcess and prescribed a 5 day course of Antirobe (clindamycin) 75 mg. Both his glands were full. I refused the Metacam, as so far he does’nt seem too distressed.
His diet includes veg and fruit every day and he has bones 3-4 times a week, so I am a bit bemused as to why he’s got this problem ??? Any advice please……
1;..Can I give him his usual bones…..or should I wait till this clears up?
2;…Will his system take a knock with the ABs, and what can I give him to boost him?
3;..Is there anything I should give him for the discomfort in place of the Metacam?
Thanks in advance
