Lexie's Culture & Sensitivity results from her nasal swab came back today and I am a little concerned.
The Culture part was as we suspected, it showed a Pasteurella infection.
However the Sensitivity analysis showed it was receptive to all antibiotics except for one, including Baytril & Septrin of which she has had a 5 weeks course and 4 week course respectively.
She showed little improvement to either abx but has become progressively worse these last few days after all antibiotics were withdrawn.
Im now at a loss as to what to do. Anneke is away on a course for 5 days and has a locum at the surgery. She wants to see Lexie for another thorough top to tail check when she gets back to see if there are any other underlying problems. In the meantime Lexie is to go on another course of Enrofloxacin and double dose.
Anneke is happy for Anita to see Lexie if necessary while she is away but has assured me she is only a phone call away if Lexie needs her.
Does anyone have any suggestions or even reassurance? Lexie is in need of a dental and I will request skull x-rays too but she currently is in no position to have a GA.
