OMG - they don't think she's going to make it???? Have they given her anything?
When I went in to my regular vet they thought Oliver had a little staph infection too and she gave me cream. When I saw it spread a week later (and I had it too), I went to my backup vet who took a culture and it came back positive. I don't know if its getting better but I'm doing my best. My backup vet has suggested that I give him a small dose of Itraconazole (or Sporonox) because he says I can be battling this for the longest time. Only thing is with this med, he wants to monitor his liver because it can destroy the liver enzymes. He disclosed this after I told him about my last 2 horrible experiences (one yorkie with intestinal disease that dies at 2 1/2 yrs and my next who died of renal failure at 17months). i'm very nervous about this....
