Are the doctors too busy to notice?

I'm pissed. My dog has been on the decline for days now and I and getting more and more worried about him. This morning June 29 ...10 days after surgery I called the animal hospital where the surgery was done. No the culture report had not come back/ BUT there is a note in here that says bring clavamox back and start 2 other anti biotics.So...On Monday when the doctor rang at 7am...he never mentioned that the ones Mr Beebs is taking is ineffective. June 25th the note was dated.No the dog has been taking drugs for a week that are lettinbg the infection travel.He doesn't need to suffer anymore at their hands.I am so dam mad...I am going to go down there and write a complaint.For God's sake the dog just had his leg amputated because of an infection...PLease...this is not the time to get lazy or absent minded and I'm sick to death of out thinking the doctors who apparently are too busy to do a good job. The last thing Mr Beebs needs at this point is an infection to roam his body. God help those vets when I see them.This wasn't a hang nail..it was a contagion for Gods sake.

Well Things are still iffy

I'm not exactly sure if its the heat , poor air quality,his age, the amputation...but Beebs seems depressed. Last week he seemed more lively and now something seems weird to me.I'm on top of the pain meds and do everything to keep him comfortable and relaxed.Phew...i just hope he gets a few good years to enjoy life again. The other back leg is not holding up very well which I suspected would happen because of the arthritus in there which is big and knobby.I just want him to be happy.

Compliments of the UGA

trying to put that leg back together for the last time.

goof ball with a fixator

June 2007 and our last days with all 4's

Mr Beebs had a consult last friday June 15 2007.It was decided then and there that all that could be done had been done to try and kill the bacteria in his leg.The morning before I had given him a 1.3ml shot of imipenem.24 hours later his leg was dripping rusty ooze onto the vets waiting room floor.The bacteria was showing me just how fast it could rebound and I decided then and there that he was not his leg..he was a spirit in a furry body.Screw the bacteria....
whats also interesting is that when I touched his incision my fingertips were covered in serum/slim.When I used the staffs pen to sign a consent form...they informed me that it was "my pen now".However no one cleaned the floor up which had dots of red droplets.Everyone there knew that he was having his leg amputated because of the very thing dropping onto the floor. How could it be such a problem and almost a fact of fact thing these horrendous bugs...and yet...no one takes cleaning seriously. I say that because I have been to the vets office and many vets offices for the last year. I have never and I mean Swear to God NEVER seen anyone cleaning up after us or anywhere for that matter.
I'm still looking for an attorney here in CT that will go to bat for me and go after the arrogant SOB that put us in this nightmare.Help CT...Please
