dogncatluvr: were you playing slots last night? someone else has the same name. Yes we tried several antibiotics, and the cephalexin worked best, but not completely. I call him my "Million Dollar Puppy" because it seems that's what I've spent. But he so wonderful, I don't care what it costs, as long as he's happy & healthy. When they did a culture, It came back staph. They have been pretty bad, and have caused a lot of scar tissue to build up. He is an indoor dog, and I even wash his feet if he is on grass for any length of time. I spend more time cleaning his feet than I do shaving my legs! By the way, his name is Little Bit!
