Staph infection

[Bonnie and Kona]

Kona has had a huge tumor on his side for the past 2 1/2 years. We noticed it when it barely fit in the palm of my hand. The vet did a needle biopsy and determined it was a lipoma, basically a benign fatty tumor. We have had it checked a couple of times. This past week Kona had a little skin tag removed from the inside of his eyelid. A new vet did the procedure, and while he was under she did another needle biopsy of Kona's huge tumor which now fills my hand to the fingertips. The substance she withdrew was bright yellow. She sent it off to a lab and determined it is not cancer within a few days, but now 10 days later I was told it is a staph infection and he has been prescribed Amoxicillin.

I have a Probiotic for him and will begin that 2 hours away from the antibiotic. Any other tips from those well-versed in this kind of thing? Your help is always greatly appreciated. I do not like the sound of staph at all. Thank you in advance.
