We finally got some good news about Diamond last night. The vet got the results of the swab from her wound back, and Diamond no longer has an MRSA infection. We are so thankful that infection has been eliminated.
Unfortunately, Diamond's wound (the hole from the ruptured anal gland) still hasn't healed. However, the vet has a plan of action that does not involve surgery.
They think that there are probably some micro-organisms deep in the tissue under Diamond's wound that live, die then surface through the wound. This sufacing prevents the wound from closing and allows more organism to enter. She will be given two meds: two different types of antibiotics to kill the e coli, doggie staph and the organisims deep in the wound. This will allow the wound to close. We will update on the progress.
We thank everyone for the prayers, good thoughts and suggestions. We are going to get Diamond some vitamin C to help her heal, along with her meds.
Diamond has been a happy little girl through the whole ordeal. I think she only notices something is wrong when her little bum gets itchy and she wants to lick it, but she can't because of the onesie.
(Diamond's Daddy again - not as worried this time)
