Tough to say - I usually give antibiotics 5 to 7 days to at least stop the progression of the infection. Since it isn't showing any secondary symptoms (not eating, etc.) I wouldn't euthanize it.
Is the respiration rate still at 160 though? That seemed high, and would count as a secondary symptom IMO.
It's tough to see - is there a margin around the lesion? If so, the bacteria may have been halted, but it will take time for the tissue to regrow, and there may well always be a scar there.

I'll have to study it a bit closer tonight to see if a margin has formed.
Respiration is higher today, maybe 200ish?
No ammonia present (alert badge), HOB power filter and airpump w/airline for aeration.
