just did two cultures and there was no issue. Dee Dee had no UTI. IMS said there was no issue and they usually use clavamox for uti anyway to start with and vet was going to do baytril since diarrhea was going on at the same time as she had clostridium from fecal culture. I chose to do probiotics over antibiotic and it cleared up in two days no more diarrhea and culture came back both times no infection. Her vulva rubbing was allergy related.
