Well,
we saw the surgeons in norwalk yesterday. They were very impressed with Mr Beebs recovery so far. The wound looks good and I've stopped the clavamox for the e coli in his leg. But...I still must inject him 3 times a day with the human drug primaxin in order to destroy the enterobacter infection he has eating his leg bone away.The plate is gone..it fell apart in there and 2 screws broke off in his leg.I wrote to slocum who makes the plates...so far no response. Big shock there huh.
I hope the bacteria does not hide in those screws or he will be on the drug the rest of his life.
The drug is $900.00 per 2 week supply.
I would never do another TPLO. In fact after my 2 boxers are gone I might forgo all pets for a while...it has been a draining heart breaking year. There is no turning back...just finding the goodnesss in having his company every day.
