krissn333 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Silly as it sounds, I'm sort of "excited" for her. I'm sure once she's healed from surgery she will be much happier. She certainly does not love me chasing her around and wiping at her hoo-ha multiple times a day Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

krissn333 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 So...change of plans. Dr. Less just called and said that he and Dr. Bahns looked Clarice over closely before getting ready to put her under, and they think that the antibiotics she has been on have greatly reduced the inflammation we were seeing. He does not feel that surgery is necessary at this point. We will re-evaluate in 4-6 weeks and see how she is doing. Hopefully she will not need surgery. If she does, we'll do it then. Dr. Less was confident there is a 75% chance that she will not need it though. I'm cautiously optimistic. The one thing I don't want is repeated visits for new infections. If we start seeing that, we'll do the surgery. That's $1,000some I don't have to spend right now and she has seemed much less grumpy since we got her onto the antibiotics...so, I'm just not going to worry for the time being. We start obedience classes on the 24th Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

tbhounds Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Good news! Perhaps keeping her clean "back there" with medicated wipes will help prevent further flairs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissn333 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 We've just been wiping with saline, per Dr. Bahns' instructions. It's not easy to do when you are the only human in the house, but, I've done my best with it and that seems to have been good enough Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.

Remolacha Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 That's good news! I hope it turns out she won't need the surgery, but does that mean you have to keep wiping her hoo ha all the time? That might not be so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissn333 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 I am to keep an eye on the hoo-ha and contact them if it seems to be getting angry again. Everyone giggles when I explain this but after over a decade of having dogs, two of whom have issues with their boy parts all the time, nothing bothers me anymore. We just wipe with saline before bedtime. She does not like it and it's easier with more than one human, but, I imagine she will get used to it. I think if it gets to the point where if we AREN'T wiping regularly she gets infections, we will be doing the surgery. No reason for her to have to deal with that when the surgery will make all of those issues go away.

macoduck Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Kristin, my vet has me using Pharmaseb wipes on Mazy. If she starts fussing with her hoo-ha I am to bring her back in for a swab to check bacteria. Mazy doesn't mind the wipes at all. She barely waked up when I do it while she roaches.

krissn333 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 The thing that worries me is that she has NEVER fussed with it. No extra licking, nothing, so, I never thought to inspect it. We'll keep an eye out and reevaluate in another month or so.
