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 .

What does it mean when your dog is not really eating but drinking water , he pee and boo boo he walks a lil wobbly he wines a lil bit sometimes he falls over

Good day! I have a Great Dane with a lipoma between her muscles on her left rear leg. Our veterinarian did a biopsy which confirmed the Lipoma. Our Vet was unable to remove it. We found a veterinarian surgeon but the cost was prohibitive. We saw your YOUtube video about this problem.
Would you be able to help us? I am willing to travel. I would also accept a referral.
We live in Sarasota, Florida.

My 16 (maybe 17) year old tortie cat Rose is constipated maybe has megacolon? This happened to her about a year ago. Had to take her to emergency where she had an enema. We changed some things around and were doing well.
The past Friday started out normal, when I got home from work she was hiding and had vomited, mostly food, around the house. She then postured like she was going to defecate and nothing happened. From my experience with her last time i figured she had a piece of poo stuck. Started her on lactulose and was going to call the vet in the morning. Being a holiday weekend her vet, and other vets were not open. I was forced to go to emergency. Because this was familiar to me, I opted not to do an x-ray (due to cost) and had an enema done with subcutaneous fluids and anti nausea with continuing lactulose and adding MiraLAX. She didn’t poop that night and the next morning she hadn’t peed either. She was also acting a little funny. Back to the ER we went. This time we did x-rays and bloodwork. She was full of poop. Vet said option 1 would be keeping her hospitalized with an enema every 6 hours with tube down her throat with a flow of miraLAX then re xray. Cost was well over $4,000, not to mention the stress. Option 2 we could do another enema but she didn’t think that she would pass the stool and basically suggested that I consider putting her down. Due to her age and the chronic nature of megacolon. After lots of tears and thought I asked if we could try the enema again more fluid, drain her bladder and keep up with the laxative routine. I wanted to give her a chance. So we proceeded. Vet was able to pull a lot of poop out and on the way home she passed two more pieces of stool, then later that night pooped again. She’s still a little off, but she went thru a lot the last couple days. I have a follow up appointment with my vet.
With what I have read about megacolon, I realize that at some point the mobility will be lost and surgery is the only option, with her age I don’t think that would be in her best interest
.
But I also refuse to accept that I should be seeking euthanasia at this point. Is that wrong? Am I putting her thru way too much?

I would like to adjust her diet to a low residue and add cisapride to her regiment.
I know that was a long story to get to such a short question, but I am sure I am not alone in this. I just want to give her a fighting chance within reason. I uploaded her x ray, I’m not the most computer savvy so sorry for the roughness
Thank you to whomever takes the time to read this.

I had seen, Dr M that your clinic has seen a rise in FIP, How much % you think in increases have you seen? Also have seen the info on Fcov-2 scary.

Dr. Magnifico- I have a 14 year old CKD/CHF/Anemic cat that is having some heavy breathing and very weak! She is on Varenzin however, I believe she needs an Iron Dextran shot. She was on Aranesp previously (had to remove her due to her having seizures from the medication) however, it was tanking her iron, so she had an iron dextran shot and it helped a lot. I’m having troubles finding someone that can do this fast. Is this something you offer and how quickly could she receive it? I believe she is tanking but VEG just quoted me $4-6k to bring her in!!!! I’m already at $30k and just don’t know I can do that right now. Also, if she is at the point of needing a blood transfusion, where can I get that done and NOT spend $4-6k???

I am in very bad place I have cats developing FIP at a fast rate within 2 weeks of ex poser all older cats 10 plus I be leave it is the FCOV-2 variant. I Have lots in door cats. One of my healthy out door only cats got sick throwing up acting neurological. I took him vet next day blood work was off A:B ratio was in the gray zone kidneys enlarged Cat has not gotten any better ordered EIDD-2801 will be here tomorrow I have 10 cats showing signs. FIP is never in my mind set from out door cats this spread like wild fire. I am asking for help for contact at some at university or some where who is researching this. I am trying not lose them plus I want to make sure this not a missed opportunity for information to be gathered. I am very scared and depressed.

My 17 year old cat has always had a runny nose and weepy eyes. Lately it seems the sneezing is a little worse. A friend told me her cat had always been the same way and her vet told her to give her cat 1/2 of a zyrtec pill because it’s allergies. My baby is taking methinazole 5mg, 1/2 tablet twice a day for thyroid issues. Would it be safe for me to give her the 1/2 tablet of zyrtec to help with her sneezing and weepy eyes?

Can you find a nasal polyp without doing a CT and using a Xray? My cat has chronic URI symptoms that are not resolving with 3 rounds of different antibiotics. She is sneezing blood droplets and has strider sounds in chest, lungs are clear.
