because it makes me nervous...
She had a UTI...the culture showed Ecoli, and the lab said Primor would be effective on it, so because of her history she took it for 6 weeks. A new culture was taken, took almost 2 weeks because they did it twice, and the Ecoli was grown again both times. She apparently is resistant to all the normal Vet meds...Baytril, Clavamox, Primor.
The Vets put their heads together, came up with some options, but of course I am not qualified to make a decision and will leave it up to them. So they are going to order something called chloramphenicol, which they have never used before, and can cause anemia and mess with the blood cells.
They will do another culture, and send it to another lab, also. Regular blood work will have to be done.
Another option is a med that has to be injected daily for 4-6 weeks, but they don't want to go that route yet.
I don't want to think about the possibilities....
