The antibiotic that they give the dog often clears up the unknown infection site as well. Sometimes two rounds of medication are needed, or a different medication to heal the the cheek ulcer. Gracie had a tiny piece of wire under her eye. It may have migrated from some other place in her body ! |
Wow! I will talk to the vet about this when he goes in again. I think he needs another round of antibiotics although it is much better. I didn't know about the other infection area thing! Thanks I'm going to contact you the next time Adie looses a microchip. She's lost two of them now and I think the third one has migrated a few inches from where it was inserted. When I have said this before I wasn't believed by someone - don't even remember who but it felt like she thought I was lying.

I'm glad someone said that! Thank you. Sometimes I post things and I know I'm going to get dinged. But I post anyway because it will open a discussion and help others learn. I really didn't know about this situation at all! And I have had yorkies for over seven years. With 4 of them (two rescues) you'd think that I would have faced every situation that they could present! But noooOOOOoooo.

Thank you! He really is doing better. I just wish it hurry up!
