Location: never in the right place | Don't know how he got an infection, could be abscess deep in shoulder. It is out of control and they don't think the Naxcel will work. He is having a difficult time getting up, lots of sores, lost alot of weight and not interested in eating much. He has had iv antibiobics, oral and now im antibiotics. They are recommending I put him down. He has been bone scanned, ultra sounded 3 times, and scoped they can't see anything. His white count is very high as well as his temp. banamine was keeping it under control but now it is not. He has been at the vets for 6 weeks and nothing has changed for the better.
thank you all for your prayers

Are you around a vet that happens to have Hyperbaric Oxygen? Not sure where you're located but I think they have one at a vet in Weatherford, TX. Have they put a central line in yet? If the infection is that bad, he should've been on IV antibiotics, not oral or IM. And a probiotic needs to be given more than just once to rebuild the normal flora back up in his gut. The meds probably make him sick to his stomach or give him an awful taste in his mouth where he doesn't want to eat. Or both.
Sorry you're having to deal with this! Stay positive!
