Speak directly with the vet to clarify the dose of antibiotic, not the vet tech.. Did he mean 25 mg bid (twice a day), or 50 mg once a day, or 25 mg once a day?

The thing has to be removed as it is causing discomfort and infection. It will only become infected again when the antibiotics are stopped. No other way to get rid of it.

I don’t use cones unless absolutely necessary. Pain meds are good, and will help with any post-op discomfort the first 72 hours after surgery.

Trust your vet
