Plain-English summary
A female mongrel dog was diagnosed with acute mastitis, which is an infection of the mammary glands. The infection was caused by a bacteria that was resistant to many common antibiotics, making treatment challenging. The veterinarian would need to consider alternative medications or therapies to effectively manage the infection. It's important for pet owners to be aware of symptoms like swelling or redness in the mammary area, and to seek veterinary care if they notice these signs.
