Who knows why it was taken off the market? Possibly commercial reasons, I may try and find out now you have asked. I am 99% certain it was not withdrawn because of safety concerns.
I cannot remember if you have tried Aloe Vera Ointment on his foot, held in place by a Micro-Pore Tape boot.
 
thanks,
i have tried aloe vera everywhere but his foot,i truthfully think natural or plant treatments are not good enough at this point,the bepanthen was also sealing his sores and not allowing them to heal thats why i think it hasn't helped,i don't want to bandage or cover his feet as if i am correct it could cause more fungal/bacteria growth due to being moist xxxxx
 
Even though he is still having such problems, he generally seems to be a bit happier than before on his good days from the sounds of things. It seems to be one day 'good', one day bad.

I'm also unsure on covering the foot, whether it's worth the pros over the potential cons. I'm running out of ideas now. Things may improve as the course of Sporanox goes on. Did Chris say how long to use the Sporanox for? It should be along the lines of 10 days, with three days off, then repeat the course another once or twice with the three days break in between.
 
With any luck Boris will start to show improvement very soon. I don't blame him for being so tired but that he is still able to cheer up and he does still take enjoyment in his food when he is happy is a good thing. Over the last few days, I don't know about you but he sounds a little happier and brighter in himself. Medically he's not good, but I think he was more down more often this time a week ago?

I do wonder if now it is a case of sticking with the treatment that should work best - namely the Sporanox, Nurofen and keeping the feet clean - and just giving it a good chance to kick in and work.

How long has he been on the Sporanox for so far?

he has been on sporanox for four days,i think maybe you are right and i should just wait a little longer xxxxx
 
With a case such as his, I'd expect it to take at least a week to see some notable improvement, if not until you get onto the second course of the meds. Have his seizures stopped?

You're doing a brilliant job with him, have done ever since the start of his problems. He couldn't ask for a better mum. Try to stay positive and look after yourself too. x
 
That's a big improvement in itself, the seizures were a big worry. Hopefully, the fact that the seizures have pretty much stopped should mean his fungal condition is being treated as it should by the meds. Fingers crossed for more good days and more improvement in his condition! xx
 
How is the little chap today?

ETA - Just noticed you are updating, two days in a row we've posted at the same time!
 
Hi all well another update,
Boris is well today,his skin is mostly clear now,he seems so have a good appetite as well,his bumble foot is still troubling him and is much worse,i don't know what else to try so i have ordered the happy soles oinment from gorgeous guineas,fingers crossed it works xxxxxx
 
That is positive that he is otherwise doing well. Something is working!

I've also got a pot of Happy Soles in a parcel to be posted on Monday. I kept it for Delilah but she's not needed it and there's no point wasting it. You'll probably get both pots on the same day. You could use one pot per foot! He may need the ointment for a while so it's probably useful for you to have two.

So pleased for a good update.
