| In Season & possible Urinary Tract Infection Suzy just had her 2nd birthday and is in season for the 2nd time. I've noticed that her peeing habits have changed and I'm not sure if it's because of being in season or if it could be a UTI. I'm going to take her to the vet this week but I thought I'd ask on here for some thoughts/opinions. As she's in season, she's been licking herself. So that's one symptom of a UTI but also could just be because she's in season. She's a little 'not herself' right now. Could be because she's in season though. Her peeing habits are usually every 3-4 hours and have been since she was toiler trained. But at the moment she sometimes does a quick squat when I take her outside, sometimes only an hour or so after she went the last time. That isn't happening all the time, but more often than I'd like which is why I'm concerned. I haven't noticed any blood in her urine. I'm wondering if changes in urination could be a symptom of her being in season? I don't recall that changing last time she was in season. Also, could the fact that she's still bleeding alter the results of the urine analysis test? Should I wait until she's stopped bleeding to take her in? Thanks for the help. |

| How is she doing? I would just go ahead with the urinalysis now if the vet will. Not sure if the heat could skew the bacteria count, but the vet could take it cystocentesis.
