QUICKLY!!! there was an almost immediate turn around for her with the oral meds and hopefully since having her spayed,, she'll have no reoccurence of the problem,, but its always possible,, but heres hoping for no more outbreaks,, it was heartbreaking,, but i was VERY glad to find out and get it taken care of so quickly and well,, its TREATABLE,, but incurable and NOT Contagious,, to other pets or humans |
