After a week I decided that we should give Melissa a course of antibiotics. I hoped that this would get into her milk and help to clear up Gyre’s infected foot. And so, for five days, we took a little supply of bananas with us when we followed Melissa and, at regular intervals, handed her one – laced with medicinal powder. I don’t know if this helped, but Gyre’s foot did get better and soon Melissa was able to go about her daily business with no more difficulty than before.
