Oxytetracycline LA

Hello! :) Has anyone's bun had a course of Oxytetracycline LA injections? Humphrey has had one injection so far and will be having them every three to four days for a possible tear duct infection. Just wondering if anyone's had this medication for their bun and how long before you noticed any improvement. Also, what was the length of treatment? Thanks, Claire x
 
Hi Claire. I have had a couple of Buns on Oxytet LA. They had 3 injections, one every 3 days. I noticed improvement in symptoms (Lower Respiratory Tract Infection) about a day after the SECOND injection.
Oxytet LA has to be injected into MUSCLE

Thank you, Jane! As you know, Humphrey had his first injection on Wednesday afternoon, with his second due tomorrow. No improvement in the watering of his eyes yet, but I have noticed more of a milky discharge now :? Also, two little round blobs of white "gunk" were in the corners of his eyes last night. We bathed them out, but this is the first time in a few weeks that I've seen white blobs. Do you think the antibiotic is loosening the gunky stuff or just a coincidence. I just hope we're on the right track here! Claire x

It could well be that the Oxytet is reaching parts other abx cant !!

It would be great if this course of treatment does the trick
