So poor Archie has had a tail pocket infection for months that we cannot seem to treat. Last month, our vet put him on oral antibiotics for 14 days. In addition, I was told to clean the area twice daily with Malaseb flush and then treat with topical antibiotic. After the 14 day period, the infection didnāt seem any better. I brought him back to the vet who told me this is something Archie is just going to have to live with, and we need to just keep cleaning out the tail pocket. This āadviceā does not sit well with me. Archie is in clear discomfort, if not pain, and he is literally oozing from his tail pocket. I asked about tail amputation and was immediately told no due to the location of Archieās tail to his spine.
Does anyone have any recommendations for effective treatment? Anyone have a good Bully vet in Massachusetts they would recommend?
Thanks in advance.
