Today I am cutting her meds by 1/2 dosage to see how she does. Maybe this is what she needed. I will be calling her vet next week to discuss her condition and see if I should bring her or anything else os her's in.
Hoping she now ok.

My Lady has constant uti's because she is diabetic so I can understand how frustrating it can be to get rid of them.
I think another poster mentioned this, but has either of your vets taken a sterile sample? They have to use a catheter to get the sample directly from the bladder, then send it out to the lab to grow a culture which can take a few days, even up to week. Only then can they tell for sure what bacteria they are dealing with.
Lady had a uti last winter that wouldn't go away. It turned out after they grew a culture that she had two different strains of bacteria and needed a combination of antibiotics to clear it up.
I wouldn't cut back on her pills just yet if I were you since she's only been on them a few days. I'd take them exactly as your vet prescribed them.
