Dru is doing okay...still not acting like she's sick...never did...her bloodwork for her kidney values came back good on Friday...so we lowered her fluids...however, we're having a really hard time doing the amikacin...she screams when we do it...bad...so, Dr. J wants us to start putting it SQ after we do her fluids, and he wants us to do it in the fluid bubble...we tried that and she still screamed...so last night I put it in the line after she got her fluids, and she did better with it that way....so, I guess that's what we have to do...
I can't believe I missed this thread! Anyway you're probably nearing the end of treatment, hopefully the culture comes back normal. My question though, even though it's too late is did the vet ever put lidocaine in with the amikacin injections? We did like .5ml lidocaine and even though lidocaine stings also, our thought was that maybe the amikacin has a continual sting and the lidocaine helps deaden it more quickly? My dog never made a peep for her injections but her skin did quiver a little like she definitely felt it.
I hope the culture comes back clean!!!!!!!
