Finally a breather...
It has been 4 weeks since we had gone to the vet and she is doing great. Granted she is still on antibiotics but the control is there and she down to a single Proin a day. The poop is nice and healthy, appetite is good and she is svvelt 69 lbs. We will wait 3-5 days to see what the cyto brings us back. Her urine still a little cloudy but the best case scenario is that the antibiotic is working and there is little to no bacteria in her bladder. UTI are horrible. Not only are they a lot to clean up. You have to make sure everything is waterproof and sealed but they are hard to get rid of completely. We have tried changing or adjusting her diet with little to no results. We've added Chinese herbals and can't really tell if they have helped or not. Cranberry supplements upset her stomach so the only reasonable thing left to do is leave her on an antibiotic for an extended period to be sure we've knocked it out. Only time will tell if this works.
It has been very frustrating...feeeling like no one is listening or have heard our plight. She's been on the Proin forever and it seems like it sometimes could be incontinence and I don't doubt that could be part of the problem but sometimes I think she is just tired and that could be part of it but I don't know. I'm afraid she's been dealing with this for sometime. We need some resolution soon...
