Overrun with beasties
She told me that they can actually do the testing there to see if it is or not, but for the actual yes, they would have to send it off. She said that the location, and what she saw was definitely leaning towards CL. She said not to mention the poor health that she was in. I told her about when I first picked up Lady, she pooped and peed in the car. The pee was almost bloody looking, and she said that was because she wasn't getting enough water. I told her how I noticed none of the goats had anything else other than blackberries, and she said that means that they didn't have the proper diet either.babsbag said:I am sorry that you are dealing with this, it is tough. These animals get ahold of our hearts so quickly.
I have to ask...how did the vet determine that it is CL so quickly? My vet had to send in the pus for a culture and /or do a blood draw and send it off. I have never heard of a definitive answer being given while at the first vet visit.
I know that the location and the content of the abcess can be rather telling, but I am just curious if there is a test or some other method that I have missed.
