Calling all doctors - avoid amputation??

Here's the situation:
My dad is currently in the hospital looking at losing his leg. It started with an ingrown toe nail being removed and his toe turning gain green. They tried opening up his veins in his leg to improve circulation but still ended up removing the toe. The gain green has now spread to his foot and his veins have closed up again so they are talking about removing his leg. They currently have him on a IV of antibiotics to see if that will help.
He is diabetic I don't know if that is what caused this
The question is, is there anything else that can be done?

Hey,stop I came to know a health product that can help him to prevent from losing his leg.And improve his condition,but not curing his diabetic.It is selling in USA in pharmacy.

O I am sorry to hear this Report It

sorry to hear that. There is nothing more that what the doctors are doing. Yes diabetes can contribute to that

honestly no there isn't..and yes diabetics do get those sores that done heel..my brother in law had a sore on his foot that just kept getting worse till they wanted to remove his leg from the knee down..well sad to say but he passed away before the surgery from a diabetic reaction....he always took care of his diabetes but no one knows if this was on purpose or not...diabetics have tobe care full of there feet..they dint heal the way we do,,,,,i wish your dad the best of luck...maybe they will find a way to help him....good luck
