Really worried about Mack

Little Mack, as you know, has no front teeth and little stumps for his back teeth, so his chin gets wet and sore but at the moment it is terribly sore, it's the worst I've seen it, he has been on depocillan and bayril injections and dermosol cream and it doesn't seem to be doing any good, it's so sore that tonight I have given him 5 x drops of metacam, he has lost 200 grams over the last week.

I am so worried about him, I will take him to see Paula tomorrow to see if we can try anything else.
 
Poor Mack :cry:
I wonder if there may be a fungal element to the dermatitis rather than a bacterial one:? Maybe a Topical Fungicidal treatment is required :?

I hope Mack gets on OK today and please keep us posted

Sending lots of healing vibes to Mack. Im sure Paula will sort it out. Hugs to you Theo xxx
 
Maisie gets sore under her chin because she lays her head in her bowl when drinking. I use Fucidin on it when it is red and occasionally sudocrem.

Thanks Jane, Paula checked and no there doesn't appear to be a fungal element as yet! , but I am to keep on with the dermisol, the problem is that Mack is such a wriggle bum that when I am trying to put the cream on I don't always get it where I want it, but the place I have got it on him it is not sore anymore!!, anyway I am still injecting Baytril and Depocillan as well
