BHRR's Nessie had all bw come back normal, she still is not battling a fever, her UA was normal and below are two of her five x-rays taken.
Her culture results came back on Friday May 2nd and, as we all thought, her chronic cellulitis was not responding to the cephalexin and the infection that ensured because of that resistance/ not sensitive to the cephalexin.
The culture results indicate that the bad beastie bugs are responsive to the Doxy and the Clav and, so, she remains on both for another 3 weeks at least. I should take a photo of the bill of 480 Doxy x 100 mg (she receives 7 BID) that I just picked up from the pharmacy – it was $350! NOT to mention how many hundreds of dollars her Clavamox of 375 mg of 3 BID costs. She still gets her Deramaxx daily also.
I will also take a current photo of her poor foot/leg. While her other back leg has a very minor infection, the one leg she has normally had be affected is so sad. 🙁 Moving forward, for any future bouts of chronic cellulitis, she may have to go straight to the Clav/Doxy combo.
So, thank you to her village for being there for her and, the consideration for even $1 to her Vet care.
