  1. Wellif you have a good relationship with your vet explain the situation. see what they say. Depending onwhat you want, youcan ask just to treat the dogs in the house without testing or test. For testing, yourdog will need anesthesia. Itsnot a cheap endeavor but I am so glad I know it was my dog. It is not possible to get a culture from a dogs throat while awake. They will doit while under. They send it to the lab. If it comes back positive it also comes with a sensitivity test which tell the vet which antibiotics will work. my dog did over 10 weeks amoxi. There is another way that I havent tried. There is a lab called zoologix that you can have a blood test sent to them and they check for the DNA of strep pyogenes. its about $80 and you actually dont need a cet to sign off. I wasa tech soI can draw my own blood and send it. I want to say that it cost about $350-$400 to have the culture under anesthesia. I am not sureI trust the blood. I might do both at the same time just to see. If your vet has q's I am happy to explain it,but I am sure they can figure it out. I would even fax my dogs result so your vet would see its possible. Tell him its reverse zoonosis. We give the strep to the dog and they carry it. My dog had no symptoms at all.It was a hunch I went on. If your broke just treat all the dogs. if you have a few bucks culture the dog. PM me if you need help
  2. yes life changed for us too. my formerly perfect marriageis not so perfect anymore. I strongly suggest therapy for all. it affects you all in different ways. And sometimes you cant keep it together at all and its one big mess. The only thing you can do is keep pushing through.
