First of (((((HUGS))))) Lisa!!! Bless your heart, girlfriend!!! I am just now reading all of this ordeal! Gosh, I am trying desperately to think of something brilliant to say that will help! PB may have to go to the vet and get antibiotic injections ... in order to get more in his system at a faster rate. I know we ALL panic about our babies, and are quick to want to medicate them ... but honestly .... animals really do have good built-in survival instincts. Just like the saying that an animal goes away to "lick its wounds"!!!? You know what I mean. Of course, an animal at large, who has never been vaccinated, and likely has feline aids or leukemia, would not do well just caring for himself... but a pampered kitty like PB, could probably do a pretty good job of it! Not saying that you shouldn't be concerned or get some medication from the vet ... but just trying to take a bit of the sense of urgency off of you!

I think the fact that the infection is draining, and that PB is eating / drinking is an indication that he is doing well. I would "try" to dab a big wad of Neosporin into the open wound with a Q-tip swab. Maybe you should actually use a broomstick with cotton on the end!!???

Good luck, sweetie!
