My daschund is very sick. She has been treated for the past 3 weeks and thought we had made great headway. Last night the vet said she has developed an infection that is going through her body. They opened her up and found a severe infection that has attacked the muscles, liver and kidneys with fast extensive damage to muscle tissue. This infection which developed in 24 hours is on her left side running up to the craotic tissue in her neck. We are waiting for the results of the most recent chem profile. Her previous ALT was 1140 which is elevated and her Albumiem was low. I am posting on this forum in an attempt to find any other pet owners who had confirmed cases of the contaminated food through verification of the crystals in the urine whose precious pet has developed an unexplained infection to this degree. We have no verification that this complication is Strep...Canin (flesh eating bacteria). My vet told me the outcome is very grave if we can not find answers and he has never seen an infection ravage her body as this has done in 24 hours. She is presently being treated through IV's with Betrol and Zenthrozcilyn (may have misspelled this)but she was already on antibiotics when the infection occured and he has switched to this combination. It appears to be resistant to antibiotics and we desperately need any information if there are other dogs who have had this on top of the other problems.
Thank You for your time.
