Over Christmas, Eos burned a foot...the doctor, who has worked a great deal w/ gliders (he's in Austin, TX) gave her Bactrin or Baytril or something with a similar name. It is an antibiotic not approved for human use in the US, and it is imported for animals from Mexico. I'm not sure what the dosage was, but he injected the first dose and I gave it to her orally via syringe after that. It might have been .05 ml? Anyway, he cautioned against Neosporin or anything she would lick off and ingest. It was really traumatic to see her hurt. Good luck to you!

: The friends I gave my twins to has a problem with one. He has a swollen foot and can't seem to use the big toe. We called the vet which was just running out the door for the weekend and he ruled out the hind leg paralysis and said to soak the foot in epsons salts. He also said there was no natural anti-biotic I could give him. Seems to me there is something I could do besides soaking. He is not eating well since last night either.
: Please come back with some suggestions! Thanks!!!
