I would return to the vet and get cultures and sensitivities of the drainage....tell the vet about the MRSA.....FYI: We are involved in a nationwide hospital study on MRSA....We do cultures of every patient that is admitted to the hospital, and we are finding, along with the other hospitals, that a vast number of patients that are admitted to the hospital are already carrying the MRSA bacteria on them, which means in a number of patients, MRSA is no longer strictly a hospital acquired infection. That being said, it could very well be possible your pup was carrying the MRSA already, and with an anal gland rupture, the MRSA could have contaminated the wound. Kind of becomes a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" scenerio.....Is the wound clearing up with the antibiotics Frankie is on?
