I used Advantage on Stretch, but now I think it might have been expired. Also, I used the Hartz Gold, or something like that, from Walmart, on my dog. Won't do that again.

We left for a short vacation (4 days) and when we returned, she had this big sore on her back about the size of a quarter. The hair and top layers of skin were gone, and it was just raw skin, so I started spraying Bactine on it. After a few days of that, I could tell it was infected, so I put her on antibiotics (Clavamox), and the infection (pus) went away. I also started putting topical antibiotics on it. But even after several days of this, it is still not scabbing over! I am fairly sure it's a reaction to the flea meds, because my dog had the same reaction a few weeks before, but Bactine worked great on her. Although, it could be a spider bite or something else. Any ideas on what I can do for her now or what might be causing it? What about liquid skin? Has anyone used the human formula on their cats? I know it's not ringworm. I know what that looks like and it's not this! I can send a pic to anyone if you think you might be able to help by looking at the sore. I don't want to wrap gauze around her b/c she will just tear it off. Thanks guys!
