I don't see a lot of septic arthritis, fortunately. Most of the fungal infections we see in Moore are Histoplasmosis and that's not terribly common. I'm assuming your vet is considering fungal causes due to poor response to antibiotics. They might be able to get a hit with a Urine fungal antigen test. Grass awns can penetrate the paw and migrate to joints as well. On the bright side if it's in the elbow it's probably not osteosarcoma.
Hope they get this sorted out really quick and get Jax back to playing & working like a puppy again!
Isn’t valley fever a lung problem? Created by bat guano? I hope your friend recovers quickly!
“ Quite a bit of bone loss in the humerus radius and ulna “.
Urine test can detect fungal infections. Bone biopsy definitive. Need to rule out “C” word.
Did you say how old Jax is ?

I haven't. Can you share information of the benefits of this?
thank you!This is WAY outside my knowledge base. But you know I'm sending you and Jax all my best!
thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you.
That is what I have learned. 6-12 months and possibly for life.
We haven't been given antibiotics. I believe they also collected a urine sample.
Thank you for the information!
