Civvie Cookie update - now the mass is infected :(

So its been a week and my civvies drooling had got little better until yesterday when it suddenly got a lot worse. I had a look in her mouth under her tongue and saw the laceration had turned nasty brown and yellow so we went back to the vet for our recheck a week early and he took a look. Now its infected (why the specialist didn't give us ABs i don't know).

Anyway the vet proceeded to give her a shot of Convenia (oops) and told us to keep an eye on her for the next week to see if it clears up.

He still isn't convinced it wasn't cancer that got inflamed, split and got infected (who knew it did that??) so now I am worried again but for now she is behaving normally - all 5Ps in place and she is sitting next to me right now - vet trip has been forgiven

Strange why the specialist didn't give ABs earlier but hope they get to work now and Cookie is feeling better soon, hugs and prayers to you both

Wendy, seems like for some of us, things just couldn't run simply isn't it. I hope the AB will work and the infection clears up. continues prayer from me to you and Cookie.

More prayers and vines. It's wonderful that she is eating, despite everything. One less thing to stress about!

Sending lots of get rid of the infection vines and feel better vines to your sweetheart

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Lots of vines for Cookie! I recall hearing that Convenia is specifically for skin infections, so perhaps it will target the infected spot.

Thanks guys - Given where the infection is, its hard to treat so we are hoping this will work. I am pretty mad that the specialist didn't give us ABs when they saw the laceration at first - didn't they think it would get infected?? sigh. Anyway she is acting normally today so far so good.

Its actually funny - she is so happy when she gets home from the vet - running around all perky. Its obvious she is relieved to be home!!
