Merck says No

I wasn't really surprised but I was very disappointed.The letter basically said we donate lots of product worldwide but not for peoples pets.
So today I leave with Mr Beebs for Athens Georgia to meet with Dr Budsberg on Thursday.
He is an innovator in drug delivery systems regarding chronic infection.This is our last best option before amputation. Beebs is playful, happy, and eating well.I'm crossing my fingers this works.If it doesn't...then I have done everything I can for him.That I can live with.
We will be down there for nearly a week(Memorial Day weekend)Will pray every day that this doctor can do something to finally kill of that bacteria.

No response from Merck

Well I am surprised and disappointed to say the least. I sent to registered letters and materials to several depts. at Merck.Its been several weeks and not even an acknowledgement.Shame on them. But the good news is that Dr Budsberg in Georgia has a new technique that implants anti biotics directly to the site.I
've given his citation to 6 different surgeons here and they all think its a solid and bennificial approach. So when I return from England next week I shall be driving the bubs down to Georgia.
It would be easy to amputate...but in the end..what happens with this new procedure will offer hope to many animals and humans alike who get these resistant infections. In fact the work the Dr is doing can be applied to cancer treatment as well in animals and humans.If we have success then I will know I have done all I can do for my guy.I will also have brought thsi hope up north to CT where I have several surgeons very interested in learning how to do this technique.
Every day...I make sure Mr Beebs is pain free..happy...loved. After his last vets visit last week I was informed that He is a happy dog"!That was priceless to hear.Thats all I ever wanted for him.
