Hi Di,

Severe infections, can bring out alot of viral because her Immune System could be on the ground.

If you remember around a couple years back, I was very ill.

My DX was Cellulitis/Staph. by mainstream DOCS.

But what I really had is Lyme & Bartonella and Babs.

Cats can carry Bartonella, they won't have any SX. themselves, but humans do. But you can get some forms from even a cat scratch.

My SX were anxiety, pain, etc...

If I was you, I would get her in right away to a PED., Just a thought, but maybe she would be more comfortable with a Female PED. If it's possiable she should take a scraping from the skin. If she can't do a scraping, have the MD set up a biospy of the sores , for infection. They usually rule out Cancer as well. Absolutely nothing showed up on my biospy for infection.

If nothing shows up I would take her to a Lyme Literate MD. No infectious Disease MD will treat LYME right.

The blood work for LYME is not accurate.

Hang in their your strong. Big Huge Hugs, Roz
