A copy of her x-ray is on page 2
This is an infection of the bone in her tail where the break in the bone was from birth.
I have a sick little girl on my hands who has had to dig deep into my pocket today at the vet. She is on Clindamycin for the infection and Rimadyl for the pain/swelling.
If the medication won't work in the long run, then she will have to have her tail docked. There is a possibility that she will need to have that done anyway though...to keep this at bay. It's a recurring infection usually that would need to be treated frequently. Her meds are about $80 a week and if they work well, will need to continue for a month. That of course doesn't count the x-rays, pain meds, cultures, blood work, regular vet fees, etc! We're in this for the long haul....anyone hiring?!?!?!
Please send some good thoughts and prayers my little girl's way if you can. We would both appreciate it! Also, does anyone else have experience with this type of infection?
