[QUOTE="Quatie, post: 25923326, member: 594383"] The dosage I use is 5mg per lb, two times a day for 5 days. The dosage you are using is likely half that, so maybe using it for 10 days would be similar. I don't know in that regards. Usually when I treat with baytril the infected area goes from hard to more squishy and soft. I would definitely pack the wound with antibiotic ointment like [USER=520160]@Aunt Angus[/USER] mentioned. You can also contact your vet and maybe you need another antibiotic. Just because it works well for most bumblefoot, it is always possible you have one that has an an antibiotic resistance to it. Or the vet may offer a higher dosage. It is worth at least talking to them about it. Also I highly recommend getting some duck booties. It helps a ton with the healing process. I held off getting them for a long time, and finally did because my ducks upper foot area was getting irritated from the vet wrap. The tissue healed so much faster when I switched. [/QUOTE]
