Dante bit Beck's toe 3 weeks ago. I put Blu-Kote in it and took him to the vet initially, and it was okay. It was looking swollen the last couple of days so I took him back, and it's gotten infected. We're going to try antibiotics first and if that doesn't help it heal we'll have the toe amputated. The vet wants to use chloramphenical. Is that one that's likely to cause decreased appetite? Anything else I should be concerned about with using it? I've dealt with handfeeding and pain meds with malo but this is the first time I've had a chin needing antibiotics.
