Thank you the local vet told me I could use sulfa methoxazole and trimethoprim tablets 800mg/160mg, at 10 tablets 2 times a day, we started that,If this is bad choice please advise asap. I am concerned now because entire nose and upper lip area is now rock hard and still swollen enough that she cannot close mouth enough to drink water without burying face above nostrils, and cannot gather feed with upper lip, she manages to lick it up somehow. please advise what this means and is it normal part of healing process?

I do not think it is as good a choice as the other drugs we discussed, particularly with the anerobes, but opinions among bacteriologist vary on this point.
