Hi everyone,
So my 11 month old kittens both had signs of a skin infection and a lab analysis has diagnosed it as Pseudomonas sp. There's quite a bit of advice on here about pseudomonas as sinus or respiratory tract or urinary tract infection but does anyone have experience of it as a (facial) skin infection? It really surprised our vet - she wasn't expecting this outcome from the lab at all. She's worried about putting them on the antibiotic pills she thinks will be effective because of the girls being so young still, so she prescribed Aurizon ear drops (containing marbofloxacin) that we are treating the area with topically. It's around their whiskers on both cheeks and goes up the bridge of their noses to their foreheads.
Any comments or advice would be really appreciated as we are worried about how tenacious this bug can be.
Thanks,
Charlie (Inky and Pinky's mum)
