So a word to the wise - get a culture and sensitivity done so you dont end up saving $100 only to spend ten times that or more. I've lose count on how much this is costing me. |
I will definitely talk to the vet about a culture and sensitivity, thanks! I am so hoping this is just from her spay, but I have read that some dogs are just prone. Sure hope little Teddy is ok and the ultrasound reveals nothing!
