Regional Perfusion of Antimicrobials as a Complementary Treatment for Soft Tissue, Bone, or Joint Infections in Sheep, Goats, and Camelids

Abstract

Commonality exists between infections of soft tissue, bone, and joints because they involve bacterial infection of important structures, and considerable effort on the part of the veterinary practitioner may be necessary for successful treatment. Our discussion will focus on treatment methodologies, with emphasis on regional perfusion, which may be of value effecting a cure. The methods are applicable to small ruminants and camelids, although success may not require using all methods of treatment.
