- On a non-related subject, Sandalwood has recently had a near-lethal run-in
- with pasturellis. The vet's got her on 35 MG of Baytril a day, and it's
- gotten her stable, but she's still cranking out pus like there's no tomorrow!
- Other than that, she's in good spirits, has a great appetite, and gives her
- human a hard time regularly. :)

- Anyone know of anything else that'll cure this stuff? The vet says that
- Baytril is pretty strong stuff, and he's afraid to put her on too much more,
- because of the possibility of killing everything in her gut, not to mention
- the possibility of superinfection after she gets off of it. :(
