Weird. Are you sure the results weren't mixed with another animals or had a false positive or something?Originally Posted by Sandy_01
On the 07th of May Trinity went in to Doc’s office for a lung wash. Samples were sent to the lab for a cytologic examination and a culture and sensitivity.
Today I got the results.
The cytology showed nothing abnormal, but there are bacteria.
Now this is where I am floored.
The culture came back showing growth of Bordatella bronchiseptica. That’s right, Trinity has contracted kennel cough. Don’t ask me, I don’t know.
This bacteria is very resistant, but Doc just gave me some Trimethoprim/Sulfa to treat him with.
So hopefully this will finish clearing the infection and hopefully none of you will ever see this infection in any of your reptiles.
Keep us posted on the efficacy of the medication too please.
