kathy40uk Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 The vet nurse rang this morning, Daisy wasn't sick overnight but they are keeping her in on a drip. She won't eat. I can call in and see her this afternoon. She can't come home today. so sorry, hoping for good news soon I use the vetsavers that is sort of connected to the PDSA on grafton Street and have always forund them very good but haven't had to have any major operations or anything done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexis Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) hope Daisy is feeling better today. Muriel - if u read the original post Daisy did have baseline blood tests before the op. Dogs can get MRSA usually it shows as a wound infection after surgery. Most dogs who contract MRSA get it from their owners who carry it, not from the vets. Some dogs carry MRSA, as do some humans where it doesn't cause any problems unless there is a wound or problem with immune system. http://www.provet.co.uk/Petfacts/healthtips/mrsapets.htm Edited September 11, 2007 by alexis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Just reading through the post and MRSA is what came to mind , yes dogs do get it, it's the same as the human version, if caught early enough it can be cured, I would add active Manuka Honey to the list of stuff to get her, it's been proven to be very effective against MRSA, but you must get the active type, if you look on the jar it will give you a rating, I think 20 is the highest, the higher the better. But here's hoping it's not MRSA, and she's home soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eponadeb Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Just wanting to come in and send healing thoughts to Daisy. I hate when they have to be left at the vet - I feel I have no control, and can't give the healing that personal touch brings. I don't know what the middle ground here is though. Truly truly thinking of Daisy and you xxx She's hanging in there so she's a toughie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 s I am sure that this is all linked to her original operation. I would suspect that the problem is the metacam as the symptoms started when she was taking it. She had clear liver results before the op so the drug appears to have damaged her liver- one of it's dangers. Were you able to get her to eat to give her the metacam as it must be given with food? A break of seven days is required before using another nsaid, which is what your vet did. However as she was already showing these symptoms they are likely to be from the metacam. I hope you get some better news tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickentikka Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi - yes I gave Daisy her metacam with food. Went to see her this afternoon, she tried her best to get excited. They took off her drip so we could go in the garden for a bit and she did me a huge wee . They couldn't say when she will be able to come home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
