Title: sophie, bad to worse
Post by: Robbo on April 02, 2009, 10:59:51 AM: Well she went back to the vets today with another 50 pound bill :-(

Collar needs to be another for another 2 weeks!!!
Her infection is getting better but needed more treatment as it's only slow

And the nose thing I posted about....she has a small bacterial infection there, he done a swap and looked under the micro scope

So now it's steroid injections, antibiotic cream, and anti biotics!

Urgh it's killing me with money and that poor collar bless her :-(

It won't hurt to ring the rescue.....I also take it she has been FIV/FeLV tested

Post by: Robbo on April 02, 2009, 12:25:04 PM: A what test?

It was a reaction to the micro chip where the needle entered and came up like a 2p size flesh looking thing

She is really active and everything else is fine she just has this main spot and now lil bacteria above her nose.

Non of it bothers her she doesn't scratch it or anything...... Healthy appetite plays lovely coat etc

Post by: Robbo on April 02, 2009, 12:38:01 PM: It wasn't the chip it was the needle that caused it.

I just want her to be better, she is getting better but I want to take that thing off her head! Lol

Luckily my dad said he will give me £50 for it :-) even tho am 23 lol

Good ole dad! :)

Who did the microchipping? - they want to get their hygiene sorted!
