My 15 lb Shih Tzu Poodle was attacked by a pit bull, resulting in severe bites on his butt and penis area. He underwent surgery, including stitches and a drain insertion. The penis area was very red, and the redness has since spread to his entire stomach. He is on Clavamox and Tramadol, but he seems to be slowing down and experiencing discomfort. Should I give him an additional half dose of antibiotics now, or wait until the next scheduled dose? If it's a bad infection, are there more aggressive treatment options, such as IV antibiotics?
