Of course he explained to us how to use it (increase or decrease) and said that if she is still having problems she needs to go back for more tests. I of course do not want to over look anything but as I said before I also don't want to fill her with meds and put her thru the uncomfort of unnecessary tests. Esp since she has had the unpleasant experience already.
I am also wondering why she all of a sudden started to refuse her meds. I still give it to her but I am wondering if she just doesn't need it any more and that she is responding this way because of that.
Now after last nights episode I "had" to let her sleep in her "beds" in the kitchen cause I had to take all the bedding off and didn't have another water proof mattress pad. When I woke up to her barking at 7am she had already done her poops and tinkle on the weewee pads as usual. So see what I mean....how can she know when to go most of the time but slip up on occasion and make it a BIG slip up. She definitely knows where she is supposed to go and does it the majority of the time.

This is EXACTLY what is happening with Ellie. She had a UTI and went on meds. She kept peeing where she wasn't supposed to and went on stronger antibiotics. She keeps doing it (but not all the time and I know it isn't always behavioral). She also pees maybe 3 times in 2 hours about once a month. Her tests come back fine. She is not taking meds for it because it isn't incontinence (she squats when she does it) and we would just be covering up symptoms. I would consider meds if she did it more often. It is strange.
But now everything comes back normal (ultasound, xray, urinalysis, urine culture and she was even treated for vaginitis just in case).
