Hi everyone. This is the update.
1. Uranalysis after Eevee peering blood was to put her on antibiotics. White cells, red cells and Struve crystals.
2. 2weeks after the antibiotics. Did another uranalysis and took x-ray to see if she had stones. Still there were white cells and Struve crystals.
3. Uranalysis was supposedly ok so took her off antibiotics.
All 3 times they took urine samples in the afternoon at the vet.
4. Eevee's fur was little pink so I took samples of urine in. They saw bacteria and white cells and Struve crystals. This is 2 weeks after Eevee was off previous course of antibiotics. I'm wondering that she still had uti then. Anyway, another aound of antibiotics and I asked for a culture. They said it's E. Coli. Another round of antibiotics. I took morning urine sample and dropped it off.
5. 2weeks later still Struve crystals and small amount of white cells. White cell count was I'm the normal range so took Eevee off antibiotics. Put her on Hills SD dissolution diet for 6 weeks. They took urine sample at the vet.
6. I took urine sample in the morning. No Struve crystals but there's bacteria and white cells, so we are back on antibiotics cephalaxin.
Our usual vet wasn't there so I spoke to a different vet at the same hospital. He thinks Eevee's privates and urinary track is not normal. Not normal for young puppy to have so many uti. But
I think it's the one uti that wad never completely treated. They never told me to bring morning urine samples. I read from here and took an initiative. He said there are other antibiotics he'd like to use but can't because Eevee is only 7 month old. His suggestion was let Eevee have one heat cycle since that can correct it then spay her. If that doesn't fix it, he will refer us to a urologist.
He also says since Eevee can hold when she's in the house for 3-4 hrs and when outside she goes about 2-3 times within 1 hr, she's behaving
'normal'. He also said that lots of people doesn't want to mess with antibiotics so even if urine doesn't look normal but the dog behaves normal, they don't treat the uti and just rides it out until the 'clinical symptoms' comeback. Any thoughts?? Should I be changing the vet?? Poor puppy.
