What do you guys think should I do.. the vet says other wise everything else is ok... she's eating,playing, getting on like a puppy should only that she still had the inflammation in the lung. she said she could come home but I don't want her to get sick. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF A RESISTANT BACTRIA IN PUPS? please get back to me.. help  |
If it was me I would certainly have the test done. And yes, there can be resistant bactria. When they do the test they can tell what kind of bacteria it is and also should be able to tell what antibiotic will work.
Prayers still going out for Brandy and hoping she is feeling better soon.
