Oh wow, it has been going on a long time. So sorry to hear. I heard of a dermatologist specialist vet who used to remove anal glands, apparently they caused a lot of itchiness. But I have also read that because of their location, a wrong incision can cause worse damage, so removal is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Of course, only what I've read -- hopefully your vet will be able to give you the best advice so this problem is put behind you (funny how one unconsciously selects just the right words! )
Good seems more like herself now, going for a check up in an hour then waiting for test results so we can get right antibiotics for her
Got her results back today, she had 3 types of bacteria in her abcess, one was ecoli and another was a common and and the other was a rare but treatable one so she's on a different course of anti biotics for 3 week I'm going ask the vet in more detail she's on anti inflammitory still and I've bought her a big tub of fibre for dogs to help prevent this! Not sure how ecoli got into her abcess maybe swimming? Or licking her bum will see in a few week she's more herself though now very playful again but the vet said what she had is more common in male dogs and German Shepards
I hope she continues to improve and get back to normal. At least now you have the results and they can treat it.
e coli is a very common bacteria in the environment. Great news that you've isolated the bacteria, with targeted treatment hopefully you can put this yucky abscess to bed. Best wishes x
pretty good thanks her bum looks alot better now but if it returns she will need a biopsy so fingers crossed all goes well with these anti biotics shes very tired being on all this medication
