Our golden retreiver just terminated her pregnancy due to an E-Coli infection. The infection resulted in a full hysterectomy six weeks into her pregnancy. The Vet stated that she could have contaminated herself during grooming. This has been extremely disappointing for my family and I - not to mention painful for our dog, Kira.
My question really relates to what happened shortly after we had her mated. She had never done this before, but she urinated in our daughters bedroom during the night while we were sleeping. The odor was different than normal and we thought that it was related to the hormonal changes. Now that we have the results from the Vet stating that she had contracted the E-Coli bacteria, we are concerned that the bacteria may have been in her urine and has now contaminated the carpet in our daughters room.
My wife has cleaned the carpet several times using a carpet cleaner and a hot water rug shampooer but the odor has not diminshed. Could the odor be related to the E-coli and can the bacteria infect my family?
Any support on this would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dino
