Hi, I follow on fb even though I’m in Cecil county. My son’s dog has been having anal gland infection for about 6 or 7 weeks she’s been treated with a number of different antibiotics they feel a mass up there they’ve done two different kinds of cultures and don’t see any cancer. I told them no more medicine we want to to go to a specialist and they sent us to Blue Pearl they looked at her records and noticed that she has MRSA they came back and one of those cultures and none of the medicines that she had been treated with covers MRSA. So they cultured it again today and we hope to have her on a stronger medicine that will cover that within a week. They at first had recommended that we go forth with the bilateral anal resection which we were going to do until they found that in her record and then we decided to try the medicine first between the other vet prescribing the medicines that did not cover MRSA even though a test that they had done showed it and all the different rechecks and more medicines my son is almost $3,000 in after today the surgery was going to be another 8000. We’re hopeful that the proper medicine for MRSA will work but if it doesn’t and we have to go forth with surgery can we get it at a better price than 8000. That with the almost three just astronomical. Any other advice you can offer would also be welcome. Thank you for all you do .

Hello,
It sounds like someone didn’t read the culture correctly? Did you address that?
If you need an anal sac removal we have a boarded surgeon who does this at the clinic. She comes to us twice a month. The cost is somewhere at about half of the $8,000 estimate you listed above.
To discuss this you would need to make an appointment at the clinic with me for a consultation and exam.
Sincerely
Dr Magnifico
