We got some good news yesterday. Dr. Arreola called from El Centro Animal Clinic with the report from Fly’s biopsy. Turns out it is not a tumor, rather it is an abscess. The biopsy revealed necrosis and severe inflammation in the subepithelial connective tissue and skeletal muscle. Possible causes: small foreign body, localized bacterial infection, and penetrating trauma. Phew! She will continue on prednisone. But, Dr. Arreola has changed her to a stronger antibiotic. Many thanks to the caring and professional staff at El Centro Animal Clinic!
We want to thank Dr. Tracey Jensen, from the Wellington Veterinary Clinic in Wellington, Colorado. She is “the kids’” primary veterinarian. She held our hand over the phone and through email during the whole process. Another instance of how this woman goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to caring about our animals. Thanks, Tracey!!
Oh, and as for Niko…he’s doing great. Seems completely recovered from whatever he got into, or, got into him!
All’s well that ends well.
