We did a urine culture with the last round of UTI's she had and it came back negative...

I guess I'll bring her with me to pick up her medicine and see if they want to do a urine culture or first see what happens with the antibiotic.

I sorry Miss Bailey is going though this again. Hope you'll get it straighten out soon.

Special prayers going out for Bailey that these infections will be over with soon.

Randi, I'm sorry to hear that this has reared its ugly head again. Hopefully it's just a case of finding the right combination of supplements/medicine that will keep it at bay. That's so frustrating.

I'm also going to ask if they have a special cleaner for her girly area. I don't think unscented baby wipes are working too well. She still looks dirty down there.

I don't know if you saw my question or not, but is her vulva normal?

Sorry, I must have missed your question. Her vulva is not inverted, but it is very small. I even got a second opinion on it before I spayed her.

in humans majority of chronic kidney problems are well treated by herbal remedies, such as Uva ursi, as well as cranberries. I would go this road and investigate your options...

Could the size of it have a cause to the UTI's and other irritations? Megan's was inverted, and I had to wipe her pretty much everytime she went potty to help her keep things clean. Does Bailey lick a lot down there?

Bummer. It sucks to go around and around like that.

I like to keep things simple, and keep the variables to a minimum. I would be inclined to stop all supplements, feed her only her food and her antibiotics through the prescription and then go from there. You can't really evaluate if things are constantly changing.

I had to look up Vibrant Pets, since a lot of people here seem to use it. It also contains Vitamin C.

I totally agree.

Go back to basics and reintroduce other supplements/treats one at a time and spaced out over time so that you can isolate root cause.

That's how I've had to deal with Bacca's issues.

She doesnt lick often. Usually after i clean her with a baby wipe
