MRSA: Staph : Wow. I am very sorry to hear of this. Mrsa continues to wreak havoc around the world and every hospital has stories like this one. It is hard to answer your question, but i would bet that at the very least someone should call animal control and explain the situation. They may want to get into the home first.
