not so great news for Abbey

The vet called me today, with the results of the culture she did on Abbey last week when she got her stitches. She did a culture out of precaution, and it turns out she does have an infection--a pretty bad one, but I don't remember the name (I will get it tomorrow). She has been on an antibiotic, but this infection is so strong that it fights most medicines. I have to go and pick up a new antibiotic for her tomorrow, and I will talk to the vet and get the name and spelling of the bacteria--I just couldn't understand her on the phone.
I'm hoping this is easily controlled by the meds, and that she isn't in any pain right now, poor girl:(
We would appreciate any good PT vibes we can get.

O no! I'll be praying for her! I hope she gets better and is in no pain! Poor girl! Give her a hug and kiss from me, the poor baby!

Poor Abbey-dear! :( We'll be praying you fight off this nasty infection soon. Extra TLC from Mommy will speed the recovery process!

I hope she's not in pain right now:( Sorry to hear the bad news, but hopefully the meds your picking up will clear it up soon.
Here's some good {{{{VIBES}}}} for sweet Abbey!

Poor Girl!! I do hope that the new meds will get that infection!! And I hope she isn't in alot of pain either!! Is she acting sick??

Give her a hug from all of us!!!

Poor Abbey :( , prayers and positive thoughts that the infection clears up very soon.

So sorry to hear the bad news about Abbey's
infection.

Will be sending lots of good thoughts that
the antibiotic will fight it off and Abbey will fine.

Oh, poor Abbey girl:(:( Hopefully the meds will cure that nasty infection. Sending you lots of love and kisses and prayers for a full recovery, Abbey girl. I hope you're not in any pain, sweetie...Please update us when you can LMS.

I picked up the prescription today, and talked to the vet. She asked me if Abbey was acting different at all, and I said YES, she is so hyper it's not even funny!!! That is good news, because sometimes the infection can cause them to be lethargic and just not feeling well. She was very glad to hear that Abbey is going for long walks and runs, and running around the house and playing.
What she has is a bacteria called pseudomonias--it's common for dog bites apparently, and the anitbiotic should clear it up and she will be fine.
She also has an appointment on Thursday to get those awful stitches removed, so that will be good!!

Poor Abbey:( My gang will be thinking about her and hoping she feels better soon.

Get better soon Abbey! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Make sure you take your new medicine and get rid of that nasty infection!

Hugs and kisses from your Uncles, Max and Spike!!:D :D :) :D

So glad to hear Abbey's being her spunky self!!:) Still, prayers and well wishes continue for the brave little patient. I'll bet she can't wait till those wicked stitches are removed!! Sleep well, little Abbey angel!:)

So happy to hear that Abbey is feeling & acting better.
Sounds like you & your Vet are right on top of things. Hope
the meds help her recover quickly.Get well soon sweet Abbey.:)
