Thanks for all the comforting words. I am worried and thinking the worst.
I just got a call from the vet and the 24 hour prelim report is in and it is negative. I did ask a million questions from crystals to prostate issues.
I was not surprised that the culture was negative as from what I have been reading it sounds like a lower UTI since there is no blood when he urinates, but drops after he is done.
Dog Urinary Tract Infections, Incontinence, Painful Urination, and More The specimen was extracted directly from the bladder so if it is a lower infection, it will not show up.
He is only on his second full day of a 2 week course of antibiodics so it is still very early. I did notice a decrease in appetite which is a side effect of the Clovamax, but he did pass the "treat" test
One more quick question. I saw some info on "Berry Balance" a natural supplement for dogs with urinary problems and was wondering if I should try that also. I hesitate as he is on the antibiodic and also Dasuquin (a glucosamine supplement) I dont want to overload him too much, even though he is a "soup pot" Yorkie--about 10 pounds
Thanks again for all your input.
Karen
