Pete,
I was able to do the aspiration but I didn’t remove all of the fluid. I was doing it alone and the only hyperdermic I could get was small gauge. I could only pull the plunger back a small way with one hand What I did remove appeared watery, so much so that at first I thought I hadn’t pierced him and was getting only tank water.
Anyhow, can I safely do it again in a few days once I have a larger gauge needle and possibly some help?
Also, I haven’t placed the other horse in with him yet because I am almost finished with the neomycin/sulfa treatment. The tenth day will be Sunday. I have gotten ciprofloxacin. Would it be okay to continue on with the cipro and treat both horses with it or would that be too much for the original pinto?
