If it is genetic, that is what I'd want done.


UTIs are a symptom of liver problems.
Did the pup have a urine culture?
It needs an ultrasound to look for ammonium urate stones.

Thanks for your help. I'm waiting to hear back from the specialist before I contact any of the owners.

Not sure about a urine culture. They might have done one when she had the UTI. I pray that there's not something going on in the whole house since the humans had a UTI at the same time. Traci questioned that maybe they were drinking bad water.

My 3 adults have had their testing and were normal before first breedings. My vet didn't feel I needed to have it done each time.

Do you have yours tested before each breeding?
How do I research the ancestors?
