Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor James Bond! If the Augmentin hasn't helped and it has been 3 days you need to take James to a Veterinarian to have the penis evaluated and possible the discharge cultured to see what antibiotic is effective. Augmentin may not be the right antibiotic for this particular infection. I hope this helps and I wish James Bond a speedy recovery!
