my friend has a dog bite about 4 weeks old below the knee it ocurred when he was in crete. The dog punctured a vein and he had a rabies jab. He is being seen 2x a week at his health centre in isle of white. His wound now smells necrotic and he is back on penicillin again. How likely is it that he will get better without radical surgery? I appreciate this is an impossible question but I am concerned that he will need to have his leg amputated
