Suggest Treatment For Septicemia Due To Shoe Bite

Hello Doctor My Father is admitted to the Hospital. He was suffering from Loose Motions, later his BP went down to round abt 25 and was admitted,also he is having diabetes. It was observed that his left leg the Feet part was swollen upon investigation it was revealed that he had a Shoe Bite due to which he got infected with Septicemia, WBC count was also high around 31,000. Last week he had a surgery on his leg by which the toxins were removed. Now the Doctors say we might need to do a surgery again by tomorrow i.e. 06 July 2010as the toxins are getting created again. It's been a week since the admission date. Now his condition is, BP is normal, Loose Motions are settled down, Hemoglobin count is low, Platelets count is low, Neck (part below the Chin) is swollen.Please advice.
