Whenever I hear this I think of Tucker 
Did you read about her using medical grade honey in combination with the antibiotics? Interesting... http://www.petconnection.com/blog/2008/ ... und-three/ More info on Medihoney- http://www.dermasciences.com/details.php?id=16&show=p |

Read about the honey - I have friends who are into holistic, and swear by it. |
I have recently become intimately acquainted with MRSI, as Oscar came down with it a few weeks ago. He was put on prednisone for a horrible flare-up of IBD, and then I noticed a rash on the inside of his back legs. The vet cultured it and came back with the diagnosis. Oscar took a 6 week dose of doxycycline, and he was recultured and cleared of the MRSI, but now my vet has found Pseudomonas, yet another opportunistic, drug resistant bacteria. I have seen my vet, an internist, and my holistic vet in an effort to boost Oscar's immune system and figure out why he is so susceptible to all of this junk.  We're still trying to noodle through it...........
In the meantime, you would never know anything was wrong with the knucklehead.

| Laurie, it might be useful to send off a complete thyroid panel and immunoglobulin assay to Dr. Jean Dodds. She specializes in immunology and specifically has done a lot of research with oes.
Here is a link to a form you can print off to take to your vet, I would go for the complete panel, and then your vet draws the blood and ships it to her in California. You get results very fast, she was very supportive and helpful when Tucker was sick. http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/Adobe/2 ... egular.pdf |
| Stacey,
Thank you for the info on Dr. Dodds. I will bring this to my vet. It certainly can't hurt to have her look at his blood work and see if she can pick up on something that everyone else is missing. Thanks again. Laurie and Oscar |
| The Medi Honey is working wonders for not only animals but people who have drug resistant staph infections as well.
Dr.Jean Dodds is in Melbourne in late June to lecture I am looking forward to the lecture.  |
| I hope you'll have some interesting
things to share with us too!
That Medihoney is very interesting stuff... and promising too! |
