KJC... Bile Acid Test? I don't think so. No bloodwork, the vet was gonna do that after the second roud of antibiotics. We will go in BEFORE the second round is done though, so like in two weeks for blood work.

Jada... thanks :] really hoping it's nothing too serious/pricey but we'll be doing all we can to get her better!

Ellie... the vet suggested that we do another U/A after the first week of the new antibiotics if she ends up needing them, do you think that's reasonable? And that is what our vet said, that's why she's switching the antibiotics, she said if the one doesn't work, usually the second kind they give does, she seemed pretty confident and I really like/trust her. But she also mentioned it could be a bacteria in the blood, or a diff. type of infection or even an underlying issue. What did Ellie end up having as a problem?

She said no doubt that Tikka had/has a UTI.
The darker urine is because of the high blood cell count in her urine, although she isn't bleeding in her urine, the count is high enough to turn the urine darker, the smell is also common in UTI's.
