How can you tell if a female Yorkie has a bladder infection (or related)? Lucy is 9 yrs old and recently has been licking around this area every time she comes in from peeing. It always seems moist down there but I can't tell if it's from "leakage" (a possible sign of bladder infection) or from her licking down there.
She has no other obvious signs (no blood in urine, doesn't appear in pain when she goes...normal intervals of telling me she wants to go out...drinks a good amount of water, eats her Dr. Marty's freeze dried 2x daily, bowel mvmt normal.... So the question is, why all the licking recently? Just started this week and I can't find a Vet that'll see me within 3 weeks!!! On fixed income, will spend as needed when required, but there's too many Vets around here (Cleveland, OH) whose priorities are the bottom line...not pet's health or people's budgets (at least, according to Yelp Reviews). Anyone have any ideas what prompted this behavior all of a sudden?
