[QUOTE="raykour, post: 879663, member: 16801"] It does not sound like "joint ill" to me. It sounds like that the JOINT itself got infected, possibly by a puncture wound. As a previous poster said, joint ill usually affects more than one joint and usually there will be other symptoms. Since it is open and draining, letting her off the antibiotics for a little bit might not be a bad idea. However, sometimes sort of surgically debriding the joint (which has implications in itself) healing an infected joint is a losing battle. An x-ray would reveal where in relation to the actual joint the infection is, or, if possibly a foreign body has entered in that area that is preventing healing. [/QUOTE]
