Well it seems MRSA has been found in numerous high schools and colleges in CT. In fact in the town I lived in when Mr Beebs was oozing pus.So the moral of the story is this... it is not a niggling or pesty infection...it is a serious health concern which the vet hospital in Ct and the surgeons ignored over and over and over.
So now we have super bugs in our school systems as well as hospitals. We the public have been coddled and decieved and there couldn't be a better time to bring my story before our state legislators.
Mr Beebs is doing okay because the weather is dry and cool.Thank God for some peace back in our lives after a hellish adventure.

MRSA and super bugs/ from pets to people and back
Sadly there are schools all over the country that have been closed because of serious and deadly staph infections. In fact a college here in Ct and several other schools have had incidents of these things. Going back a year and a half ...I remember just how casual..the vets seeing Mr Beebs were about the bacteria coming out of his leg. Lately i have seen the custodian at my college washing the floors with ammonia or bleach and water.This was several weeks before the student dies in Virginia from MRSA.Oh boy...the only good news I can see coming out of all this is that it is bringing national attention to a problem that has been swept under the carpet for far too long.
When I look back to the amount of contact I had with various strains of these bugs I consider myself lucky I did not become seriously ill. The public health guy here in CT is a vet and he left a message on my phone saying these bugs were opportunist...meaning I guess someone with a compromised immune system.How did he know I don't have aids or have chemo treatment at present? What made him and all the other vets be so sure that every single person and animal in there waiting room was indeed in picture perfect health?s. A Position based on ignorance and laziness. As a consumer it has dawned on me that in all the various operations ,treatment and drugs that were used and paid for over a year and a half...that not ONE of these doctors was a specialist in this field ..nor did they send me to any specialist..they experimented with my dog and my pocket book.When in truth...there wasn't a dam thing that they were doing that could have stopped the progress of this nightmare. Oh course it wasn't cost effective to say that though..As long as I was willing to believe in the false hopes they were dishing out they were more than happy to take my money and put Mr Beebs through an astonishing amount of useless surgery and treatment that was doomed to fail from the start. I hope these national cases will bring outrage from the general population..as it should.Keeping this under raps has done alot more harm than good.Now I must go write to the lawyer here in CT that is willing to help me work on the legislative process.One small step at a time.

Well the shots don't seem to be doing a great deal of good.Beebs gets another one today it will be his 8th week and without the deramax he seems to be very weak in his back leg.
All this lifting him in and out of my truck since June 06 has taken its toll on my body.I have lifted his full body weight out of my SUV supporting his front end with my left arm./That elbow is getting more and more crunchy and achy.Everytime he goes to the upper floor to eat I have to lift his back end up three long steps until his front end is on the top landing.My lower back feels strained and now when he can't walk I support his back end in the sling and pogo along with him taking all the weight off his back end.I'm tired and worn out from all this.That one dam surgery has had a mushroom affect on my life. Yesterday I took both my guys for the blessing of the animals on the town green.I was able to tell many animal people why he lost his back leg and perhaps that news will spread and people will be more conscious of the complications in animal hospitals.
The clergyman was very kind and Mr Beebs spent the entire time trying to kiss his face while he blessed him.There were even horses running around on the green which was an awesome sight.
Well I'm glad he's still with me and I hope he is content and happy ...I can only guess he is.He still plays and eats well.Loves rides and trips to the park. This ordeal has aged me though.It has been a terrible strain on me physically, mentally and spiritually. I'm glad I have faith...otherwise I would have been in much worse shape long ago.
