Hello all. Perhaps some of you might have experience with MRSA, methicillin-resistant staph, or MRSI, methicillin-resistant staph intermedius. In August 2009, my baby w/ feline asthma (she's on inhaled meds) ended up with MRSA in her nose, along with e-coli and streptococcus aureus (all in her nose). Heavy injection super bug antiibotics, antibiotics for the e-coli and the strep. Now, she has MRSI, staph intermedius. My vet continues to state that because of her compromised immune suppression, she is unable to fight off her own bacteria. She's been on super bug antibiotics again, but this time, the MRSI is far more resistant than the MRSA was last summer. I am at odds on what to do. Her nose is complete black, the hair is falling out on her nose now, and I'm at a loss, truly. She said that the inhaled meds would cause this breakdown in her ability to fight her own bacteria, but I'm starting to wonder if she could have a food allergy that might cause this infection. Any thoughts or suggestions? She gets 1 tsp of wild alaskan salmon oil and immune support vitamin per day, along with her inhaled meds for asthma. She seems to be fine now, but I worry about meningitis and pathogenic diseases that can come from staph infections.
