| Advise on a skin infection Well we just got the staples removed for Emee's spay and had to take her back to the vet for a swollen area on her right hip. It's an infection under her skin. Dr is not sure what caused it. I asked if it could be related to the spay but dr said no. Emee's last vaccine was 5-9 for rabies which was given in her right hip bit that was over a month ago. She is now got the collar on again and had her hip shaved. She gets .9ml Metcam 1x day and Clavamox every 12 hours. Anyone have experience with this. How long does it take to clear up. I feel so bad to had the cone on again. She has been such a good baby though all of this.

| I do not have any experience with this. But wanted to let you know that I am thinking about Emee. Poor little thing. Hoping for a quick recovery!

| Sorry you pup is having a problem. I hope it clears up quickly. I think the cones bothers me more than it does the pup. Get well soon.

| Update on Emee Talk to vet this morning. Skin that surrounds the area with the infection under it is becoming red and crusty. Vet expected this and is taking Emee off the Metcam and switching to prednisone on Monday. Emee needs to b off Metcam for 3 days b4 switching to the steroid. She also will go on an anacid to prevent any GI problems. Man....when does it end.
