Did the Vet give a covering abx too ?
No - ******.... He had some sub cuts, but I had given him Metacam at 12.30, so maybe that's why he didn't?
Which one should he have Jane?
Metacam can be given with abx, but did you tell the Vet he had had Metacam ? The use of a steroid is usually contraindicated if Metacam has already been given, but if in the 'last chance saloon' maybe the Vet felt that there was nothing to lose by risking it.
As for what abx, probably just Baytril initially I would think. But if it were a middle ear infection then a more heavy duty abx is likely to be needed.
