Oh poor Dixie girl I am so sorry that she is feeling bad, but hope those antibiotics knock it out of her quick. Graham was swimming last summer and there must have been a chunk of wood with a nail sticking out of it, because he cried and came back to shore, where the bottom of his GOOD FOOT had a nail sized hole in it, and he was in pain and it was bleeding.

I went home and immediately flushed it out, clipped the hair well around it, and soaked it, but it was not enough. His foot and leg got so swollen and he ended up having a puss pocket, also. They prescribed antibiotics and foot soaks in novalsen several times per day. He eventually got better, but it was frustrating for him.

I do hope that the lovely Dixie recovers as quickly as possible, and she is feeling better from her pain

It's great to hear from you again, Candy. I miss you! Hugs to Dixie and to Dusty.
