RubyStar Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Sorry to hear about Bondi, boxagirl Well we had an interesting afternoon at the park. Poor Millie got bitten by a bull ant on her girly bits!! Oh dear I haven't heard a dog screech out in so much pain before! She attracted the attention of other park goers who came over to see what was happening. She wouldn't stop licking at it and when I tried to see if one had actually crawled inside she screeched even more! The screeching finally stopped so we came home and I wrapped a gel pack up in a towel and put it on her privates Poor Moo. That would have HURT!!!!!!!!

Guest RosieFT Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Results are back from Bondi's CT scan today. Not good She has/had an infection which has eaten away at the bone in her spine, it is all jaggered and in some cases half of a vertabrae are gone. She also has multiple lesions and what appears to be matter compressing spinal cord in afew areas (so a herniated disc) Also has calcification of spinal cord (slight) and vet also said calcification in organs, kidneys- and where she was speyed. Waiting on urine test results to know if infection is active and if it is fungal or bacterial. Fungal infections need constant ongoing treatment as you cannot completely get rid of them. Going to have to get her off steriods too so she can fight infection. She now weighs 22KG- she was 30KG before this happened. Atleast I know now- and if we can't beat this, there won't be the what if's. My poor girl, she is so brave and doesn't complain- but this must be so painful Hope the pain meds help. What an amazingly strong dog you have there. I am so sorry to hear of her terrible results. I am amazed though that they didn't pick up that something was amiss by her bloods. Can you not tell by white blood cell count or something, that you are running with an infection? Good on you to do all you can to help her.

Good on you to do all you can to help her. They aren't sure if the infection is active or if a prior infection has done all that damage- It looked like a catapillar had eaten away at her spine 2 months ago she was a normal dog, running around and you wouldnt know anything was wrong. They also said it was weird that xrays didn't show up her spine degeneration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also said it was weird that xrays didn't show up her spine degeneration. Yes i was wondering about the xrays too. If the spine was so degraded, especially the one vertebrae, why was it not seen on the xray? It has progressed very fast if only 2months ago she was ok. There are some nasty bugs out there though and I am so sorry they have got into Bondi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
