I have a question regarding my ram that has been sick. It started from what is

It sounds like a staph infection. I would use combiotic or pennicillin
instead of the LA 200.. Terramycin has a tendency to get into every

I get Baytril in ElReno at Eischen's vetconsulting service. You should
be able to get it from the vet. The small animal size is expensive, but
it is really good when youdo not know just what you are dealing with. I

I use Livestock concepts www.livestockconcepts.com for a lot of my
antibiotics and wormers too...
