Deep Infection part 2

[Hankster]

love the new pictures and how nice they made a special wagon for bulldogs!!! one where the side comes down for easy access!!! I have a great wagon (from Costco) but I gotta be able to lift him way into it and that's become difficult... yours is very nice, and great looking happy boy!

Since the bacteria showed sensitivity to Baytril and Bactrim the antibiotics should work. However if the area is walled off into an abscess then the antibiotics can't penetrate and you will need a drain put in. I'm just wondering if Monty needs an ultrasound or CT scan to check for abscess.

He had a drain in previously but it was before the culture. The vet did not call me so I am a bit steamed about that so will call them again 1st thing in the morning. I will ask about the possibilty of an abscess. Thanks for alerting me to that.

If you left a message for Dr. Chellappan - she doesn't work Mondays. And the staff will not tell you that. Lovely, I know. I've just come to know her schedule since we frequent so much. She should be in today though, and hopefully will give you a call back. I'd call anyway and say you're waiting on a call back.

I asked for Dr Dikeman to call me back as she wasn't there. I have found he is not the best on call-backs!!

Oooo ok. Glad they told you she wasn't there. She (Dr. Chellappan) is really good about call backs.

I never did get a call back from either vet. Not a happy camper! I called them again first thing this morning and they put me through to Dr Chellapan. She said to flush it with a weak solution of Betadine and it is better for it to all drain out which makes sense. I asked about it being an abscess and she confirmed that, said the combination of drugs should take care of it. Unfortunately, we are going on vacation for a week next Tuesday so I am hoping it will clear before then.

Hey Pam, how's our Monty coming along? Any improvement?

Thanks for asking. He seems fine. I flushed his infection site until it closed and I couldn't flush it anymore so I hope that was OK. He is still on drugs and I will take him back to the vets when he is finished with them. We are away for a week and my sister is housesitting so he will be well looked after. I just spoke to him on Skype and he wasn't the least bit interested!! I'm crushed!

LOL When I was visiting home for 2 weeks I skyped with Tyson too, his ears went up when he heard my voice, but then he just went back to sleep.

I hope he continues to improve, enjoy your trip!
