Our dog was the carrier - vet didn't believe me that when I was 12 they finally broke my strep cycle by treating my dog who wouldn't leave my side when I was sick.....so with my daughter I asked the doctor - he said go for it - call the vet - the vet said it was "highly unlikely" even though I had been
through this myself - so I asked him do you want me to bring in Sparky? You wanna culture the dog that needs to be muzzled to be seen? - He said "I'll get that scrip ready for you!" - and it DID end the battles with strep.
