poor li'l tikka... would love some opinions! So Tikka was diagnosed with a UTI a week ago, the doctor said we should see improvement in 3-5 days, and she is still leaking a dark urine when she sleeps. It's not as frequent, but it still happens. She is much more playful and def. eating better, but the antibiotics also gave her mushy stool.
I called her vet today, told her that Tikka seems to have a little more energy and is definitely eating well. BUT the urine is still leaking/dark/somewhat smelly.
So here's the plan with the vet:
wait out this last 6 days of pills, go in on saturday for a diff. kind of antibiotic if the leaking/smell doesnt go away. the new ones will last 2 weeks as well.
if she is still leaking at the end of those 2 weeks then we will do blood work and a urine culture and send it into the lab to see if there is maybe a blood resistant bacteria or something else.
She definitely has a UTI according the urinary analysis we did last time, so I'm hoping it's just a tough strain of that and nothing worse. What do you guys think... has anyone had their girl/boy have this as well and not take to antibiotics right away?
