Lucy is on two antibiotics: Clindamycin (150mg) and Baytril (86mg). Baytril is ridiculously expensive, but the combination of the two (or at least one of them!) is working as she seems more alert. She still isn't drinking, but after taking her in yet again, the vet thought she seemed hydrated enough.
We're supposed to visit friends in southern Oregon—almost to the California border and in the middle of nowhere. It makes me anxious to take a sick dog out in the toolies, but this is one of those spousal issues that I'm losing.
I switched to beef stock today to see if that will elicit more response, but it doesn't do the trick either. Why is she not drinking? What is it about the drugs or illness that makes her avoid water?
In mid-August, the vet wanted me to come in for another xray. Is it worth it at the price if she's feeling better? I'm going to ask several different sources.
