MiDOG significantly shortens the time that your patient is suffering from infections and aids effective antibiotic stewardship.
The MiDOG® All-in-One test discovered the true culprit that culture testing missed!
After the microbial analysis and treatment of Chloe’s skin condition, she is a healthy happy dog now! Her life was saved by the MiDOG® microbial analysis!
My granddaughter is eternally grateful to MiDOG® for giving her many new happy days with her “buddy” Chloe. Just look at her smile!
Culture testing pointed to a S. pseudintermedius infection, but Heidi’s ears were overgrown with the fungus M. pachydermatis!
Heidi, a 13-year-old dachshund lady, was suffering from chronic ear infections so severe that her ears were shut. She was on Simplicef® because culture testing showed a S. pseudintermedius infection. However, her condition did not improve.
Her primary vet sent her to Dr. Kavanagh, who performed the MiDOG® Test on Heidi’s ears. It showed 85% of microbes in Heidi’s ears was actually M. pachydermatis. She was treated with an antifungal medication Instead of antibiotics and her infection cleared.
Culture testing pointed to a S. pseudintermedius “only” infection, but missed E. faecalis that was resistant to her prescribed antibiotic.
Daisy, a 5 year old mixed breed, spayed female dog, was suffering from on-and-off urinary tract infections since 6/2016.
Over the years she had 8 periods of urinary tract infections that never fully resolved. MiDOG discovered that an intrinsic resistance of E. faecalis in her urine was causing her recurring infection.
MiDOG® confirmed Buddy’s C. perfringens infection and pointed out unusual Fusobacterium amount.
The majority of dogs harbor C. perfringens in low numbers as part of their fecal microbes, even in the absence of disease. In Buddy’s case though, he was suffering from diarrhea and C. perfringens represented 40% of all the bacteria in his feces.
The MiDOG® test gave Buddy’s vet the valuable additional information that there was also an unusual high amount of Fusobacterium present in his feces to guide her selection of the most appropriate antibiotic treatment.
Cooper’s non-healing wound mystery was solved with the MiDOG test! Cooper, a 7.8 year old Golden Retriever, was suffering from a non-healing wound on his left front paw. Previously, Cooper was treated for IMHA (immune mediated hemolytic anemia) with clindamycin for 2 weeks but there was no response. Dr. Rosenkrantz from the Animal Dermatology Group Tustin CA wanted the best for this good boy and was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.
The MiDOG All-in-One Test discovered Burkholderia gladioli, a very rare pathogen, deep in the tissue of Cooper’s left front paw. Based on this diagnosis, his veterinarian was able to adjust his medication and decided the best treatment would be a Marbofloxacin treatment for a 6-week therapy. After the treatment, all of Cooper’s skin lesions were completely resolved and he is back to being his happy self!
