Max responds to antibiotics

Max responds to antibiotics

As we reported last week, Max has been getting multiple boils over the last couple of months.  We were able to have the bacteria identified as a strain similar to MRSA, which is resistant to most antibiotics.  

Max during treatment

Three treatments were available - one was too strong for his failing kidneys, another was far too expensive, but Rifampicin, was cheaper and available.

Rifampicin antibiotics

Max's boils disappearing

5 days later, the boils are drying up, and he hasn't thrown up which is great as if he did we would have to stop using it.
