Actually antibiotics would be very effective in treating any infected sores on the skin. Supportive care of the symptoms will help make the dog more comfortable. Robinh should inquire about Baytril to clear up the skin infections, as it has a very low probability of causing GI tract problems. Now back to the original cause...
But are the sores caused by bacteria? Or are the aintibiotics as a precaution to ward off the bacteria that may make the sores worse?
