The last was "nearly"clear. I think I would want more info on your girl before she is cut on. Good luck. |
Thank you answering my post I really appreciate it. Well here is the update I did some research and found Royal Canin Urinary Prescription Diet for my little Kinder and it is made for dogs allergic to chicken. I called my vet and brought back the kidney stuff and we put her on this food. I give her 1/4 cup of warm water in her food she never was a water drinker. Thirty days went by and I brought her in for an ultrasound and thank God no more calcium oxalate crystals and no polp. Two weeks ago she started peeing in the living room so I brought her back and they did another ultrasound. That came out free and clear. Just this past Monday she peed all over so they had me bring an urine sample in but found no infection. Got home and she peed twice on her pee pad and then walked into her kennel peeing on her blanket. The girls at the vet said there is nothing wrong with her it is a behavorial problem. I told them to have my doc call me and tell me that. Well my doctor told me her ultrasound is normal twice now and no infection so he said he thinks she is getting incontinence. He put her on estradiol 1 mg. half a tab one week every night then cut it to half tab once a week. We are in our motor home now for the winter but so far no little wets on the bedspread. He said if this did not work call him in two weeks. I hope this stops but she seems to be playful,happy,and eats good. My next step will be a different vet. She is seven years old and has had problems after her spay when she was little. It sure is crazy and I will do anything for my baby. Susan P.S. I hope your kid is ok sometimes it gets frustrating when you do not get a correct answer.
