The flush her shoulder and knee today and she is still on iv meds. The vet said they will flush her on wed and thurs and kept her on meds until the test come back from the culture.The vet said that star is what they call guarded. The vet Star has 50% change of recovery. So please pray for star. It does not look good for her right now, because the infection moved to the knee as well. The shoulder is infection again as well.
