I think I may have came across wrong in my first post. The docs reason for putting Maggy on the antibiotics is because of the things we've had here that HAVE required antibiotics. My youngest son now has strep which is contagious. I don't question the fact that dogs can catch some things that humans have, I've seen it happen before. I've been with the same vet for years now and I really do trust his judgment. I know he was trying to relieve Maggy's pain when he prescribed the pain med, I know he'd never intentionally do anything to hurt Maggy, he was pulling for her just as much as I was when she first came to us and almost died. We lost her brother and our vet felt so horrible about that, we all fought hard to save him. Now our vet doesn't take chances with Maggy May, specially with a compromized immune system.
