MRSA Notes

Here is the happy story of Tarka, a dog owned by Terry Salisbury of the UK, who contracted MRSA after emergency surgery for gastric tortion. Tarka was not recovering as her owner had hoped, and a week or so later was diagnosed with MRSA. Through excellent wound care and antibiotics, Tarka has now fully recovered. You can read Tarka’s story here, and you can find Tarka working with my friend Jill Moss at the Bella Moss Foundation, teaching people about MRSA and making them aware that your pets are just as in danger of acquiring this bacterial infection as you are.
