r_beau - 2017-09-22 4:00 PM My Red decided to get what we believe was scratches .... in the middle of January .... in North Dakota .... on only one leg .... starting on the side.

Go figure. Only he would come up with something like that! It got pretty bad in about a month and a half, where it was swelling his leg up and increasing in size. Took him to the vet and she cultured it (but nothing came back substantial) and had mixed me up a combination anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-whatever mixture that was green and smelled awful but it worked like a charm! Cleared it up (we shaved the area and cleaned it really good at the slinic) and when my custom mixture was gone, I continued to do betadine washes every few days and put MTG on it.

So I would say if you've tried over-the-counter stuff and it's not working, go to you vet and do a culture and see if they have something stronger they can give you.

I had gotten some stuff from my vet, expensive salve for scratches, did NOTHING. Over the counter stuff from Walmart took care of it lickity split.
