KB'S MI FLY
Fly is doing pretty well,
she got looked at by 2 other vets today, one of which is a veterinary
urologist. Fly's infection is caused by a bacteria called
Mycoplasma, which is a pretty serious bacteria, requiring long term
antibiotics. Fly had her work up today, and she also has something going on with her uterus
and it will be removed.
She also had an ultrasound.
Fly is
having an abdominal exploratory surgery
at UT on Monday
to determine the cause of her ongoing fevers, stomach and back pain, blood work
abnormalities, and vaginal discharge which she has been continuously fighting. There is an abnormal structure
which we think is an infected part of her uterus, she has not responded
to antibiotic therapy, and having a low grade infection for a prolonged
period of time can make things really tricky, especially in that area.
Fortunately one of the top soft tissue surgeons in the country will be
performing her surgery.
Hopefully Fly's surgery will be straight forward, though
it is more difficult to do this then the actual spay with a chance of
damaging her urinary tract. Fly might have to stay in the ICU
overnight. Updates to follow.
Fly is recovering from her
surgeries. A surprising find, a hidden penis and her uterus have
both been removed. She is responding to the antibiotics so once
she has finished this round of antibiotics we hope the infection and
fever do not return. ( Dr. Iva English)
