I am getting a second opinion from a Doctor Meyer who thinks that Doctors amputate too often and he has saved many people from having to go through that pain.
They would have amputated yesterday , the money hungry ghouls.
Medicine in Canad is far from perfect and my Cats have no place to go.:(
Good for you.Quote:

HUGS and prayers going out!:):love:
Hyperbaric (high-pressure) oxygen therapy has been used in healing wounds. You might want to ask the 2nd doctor about that. Take care!
Gary!!!
I saw a few candles with your name on them, so here I am....You got a lot of really go info here. Hyberic(sp) is a good thing to help with wound healing. And ask katladyd said there are other options.....I know you are feeling pretty bad right now, esp for your cats, but God would not let anything bad happen to you or the Found Cats!!! PRAYERS for you, I am requesting that the Angels' Army be there to give you comfort!!! Sandra
You're doing the right thing here, Gary. With the way medicine has advanced there may well be other less drastic and painful options for you. As you can, please let us know how things work out with Dr. Meyer. We care about you and we're on your side. Amigo's paws are crossed in prayer for his Uncle Gary.Quote:

Yes, we've hear good things about hyperbaric therapy also. Adding our prayers that an alternative treatment can be found.Quote:

I am getting a Sulfa based anti biotic now momcat.
I was wondering what else I can do to dry the wound and get rid of the infection where there is a natural choice???
Just seeing this Gary. I will be praying for you.
Gary, could you ask your doctor for an antibiotic wound powder? When I worked with horses we used this along with antibiotics for open wounds that could not be dressed (there's lots of places on a horse you can't bandage.) Wonder Dust was one we used for slow healing, open, infected sores. It really worked!
