CNY 3rd day. Feb 21, 2015.

The owner was concerned as the left forelimb of this Golden Retriever was swollen. He was not eating. I suspected an anaerobic bacterial infection entering through the wound in the lower leg (wet due to licking, black) and spreading under the skin. The left hock was swollen and slightly painful. 

IV drip with antibitiotics and blood test were done.  There are some flesh-eating bacteria causing such a serious problem.  This dog had low platelet count when the blood was tested some 2 weeks ago. Test for E.canis was positive.
