At this point - honestly - no more news. I spoke with the vet (she was off) but she has a call into blood lab to see if they can give more detail on what strain of the entercoccis it is - it just said "entercoccis". All tests are final - not peliminary. What I find "interesting" is that when the first culture was done a mo ago - the one that determined the MRSS - there was no sign of the entercoccis - now it shows up out of nowhere - she has not been leaving the house really because of the ACL. She wants me to bathe her once a week for 2 mos - washing her belly and her leg (appears to be some lesions there which have not fully cleared up). This is where I am right now...we will see...things are probably going to change... Thank you for all the words of encouragement - Jackie and I appreciate it! This too shall pass... | |
