MRSA is the same bug for humans and dogs. Surprised that doxycycline is working for him; it's a pretty bog-standard bacteriostatic antibiotic, but then again dog immune systems are usually much better than human ones, so you might get away with it... but I'd be using marbofloxacin at the very least.

i guess i should have stated he grew out ha-mrsa. the doctor wanted to know if i had come into contact with it (i am a home health nurse) but i had not. its rare for a critter to grow out that type of mrsa. it was only in the soft tissues of his leg. he was one very sick pup. hes been cleared to be his "puppy" self (hes 10)

I think we are all glad he pulled through.
