Guest simile Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We talked to the vet for a while when we picked him up. Good chance there may be an e.coli infection causing this. He was treated for e.coli in Oct. If it grows in these latest samples, we'll be treating him for 6 months. So, does the vet think it could be an e.coli infection causing all the problems, or just the problems with his hock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystella Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Aww Trudy, that is rough, it is always hard when they are sick but when you don't know what you are dealing with it adds that extra level of anxiety.

Guest wmlcml6 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Poor Ryan. It sounds as if your vet is doing a good job with the cultures. Just curious if he has checked for MRSA? Player had a bone infection and abcess following his broken leg surgery that would not heal. They did a culture and a few days later had figured out which antibiotic would kill the bacteria. He responded finally! Our vet told us that because this is not something a lot of vets know to look for, so I thought I would mention it. It can't hurt to ask. The drug that Player responded to was Trimethoprim. Prayers that Ryan feels better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmlcml6 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Just found another interesting article that discusses e coli and mrsa, among other things. Perhaps it will give you some ideas or questions you can pass on to your vet. http://www.vetinfo4dogs.com/dbacterial.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
