Hi,
I have a 2 year/ Male. In late May he was diagnosed with a minor Urinary Tract Infection. I kept him on the antibiotics for 1 week. (The prescribed amount of time) About 2 days after he came off of them he started bleeding a little bit from his penis.

I immediately took him to the vet where they ran another Urinalysis.
They put him on Amoxocillin for all of June.
I have also noticed through out this time that the tip of his penis gets very swollen and a red color ( but no blood). He is on the prescribed food and just came off the antibiotics on Saturday. This morning I notices that the tip of his penis was swollen and red again ( I think it is the bulbous glands).

The vet is terrible and will only tell me to bring him in for more tests to determine why the antibiotic did not work. Has anyone ever had this experience with a UTI, and the bulbous glands?? I can not afford to keep taking him back at $70-$200 a test...and they can not tell me why??
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! Especially to Capone as his poor little man-hood is having a tough time!!
Thank you,
Janine
