On May 21 my dog started acting weird around 6pm. All of a sudden she started shaking like she was scared, then she ran away...and hid underneath a bed of a room that we don't even use. She wasn't even chasing the cat that she usually chases all the time... We took her outside to get fresh air because she kind of acting like maybe there was a bug on her face, and we thought maybe a bug went up her nose as well. So she started peeing and then wouldn't stop. We thought she may have a UTI because we remembered that same look and actions from when our cat Mitty had one several years ago.

So we take her to the vet the next day. They had to draw urine through 'cystocentisis' They initially saw tiny flecks floating in the urine.
So we waited and waited and then they finally brought her back and came back with the results. They showed us the lab results. Something about her white blood cell level was high and is consistent with infection somewhere in the body. There was a slight trace of blood in her urine too. I think they said her level was at 10 (????). He also said that when they checked her urine they found an egg in there from some kind of parasite but they couldn't identify it.

They never directly said if it was a UTI or not, just some kind of a parasite. They prescribed some powder to put in her food for 5 days called Panacur, and then they gave us Simplicef pills to give her for 10 days. Oh ya they had given her an injectable antibiotic as well. And she got her bordatella shot, too.

She definitely started acting normal again within a few hours of getting back from the vet. We gave her the powder up until the 3rd day I think. She refused to eat her food and so I figured since there was only one packet left she would be fine. My question is - how are they going to deworm her urine? She still has one antibiotic pill left as well now.

Okay fast forward to last night, her poo looked neopolitan colored. Half dark brown, half beige - kinda like the color of her chicken food. Okay didn't think anything of it. So this morning she goes for her normal morning walk and does a big wet pile of the chicken colored stuff. While I was getting ready for work, my husband yells out "oh no" and I run out thinking maybe one of the cats puked again or something. I look and there was this big pile of diahhrea ridden poo in our living room from our dog. She knew she did bad and peeked around the corner. We never hit her or do anything bad to her. We yell at her 'no' when she does something like that though, or anything we don't want her doing. So we clean her up, and clean the mess up. About a half hour before I had to leave I took her outside and all she did was squirt stuff out. So now we have her in doggy isolation in the kitchen.

She had a bout of diahhrea about 3 months ago, and I don't know if all this is related or not.
