| Patti, I think the Thundershirt is worth a try - after you and your vet rule out pain, etc. I understand the shirt is easily returnable if it doesn't work so there's no risk in at least trying it. Sending prayers that you can find answers for Pixie soon.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I just wrote a long post and then somehow deleted it. Heres a short version. Pixie settled down with the metacam last night. This morning she is back to panting and running for back door like she has to go out but doesn't go out. She has peed twice within a short time but may be because I tried to get a urine sample. Didn't work. I have a vet appt at 3:15 but neither of her regular vets are in this afternoon so I get first available. Please keep Pixie in your prayers. Thanks

| Maybe she has a UTI? That would explain it....running for the door thinking she has to go out. You could get a urine sample, but when I think there is a UTI I usually let the vet get a sterile sample. Poor little Pixie...hope you find out what's up when you go this afternoon.

| Poor Pixie! Keeping her in my thoughts. I swear, some of us need something like a frequent flyer discount card for our dogs dr. appointments. Hopefully it's no big deal, Patti.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Thanks. I am thinking UTI too. The vet's office said if I could get a sample I could just bring it in and she wouldn't need to be seen if it was a UTI. But Pixie only goes outside and she is so low to the ground that every time I try and sneak something under her she stops. I hope the vet can come up with something as she is so stressed out. I am switching their food back to California Natural since Cali had a UTI since being on the Nutro Ultra weight management. Now if Pixie does too I don't want to take any chances. The lady at the store where I picked up the CN said it is PH balanced and that is important for their kidneys. I am not sure if Ultra is. Pixie is just whining for me to let her out non stop. I am going to go to the vets early and sit there hoping they get us in sooner. I have spent so much there I should have VIP privileges. lol Please keep her in your prayers. I feel so bad for her, I just want to know what it is and get her treated.

| They can get a sample with a syringe if need be. It is a simple thing to do. Plus, it is a sterile one.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Just got back from the vet. She checked Pixie out and expressed her anal glands and took a sterile sample of urine. Anal glands were fine, no temperature, exam didn't reveal any tenderness. Urine didn't show a blatant infection but there was enough things in it that they put her on an antibiotic since it could be the start of an infection. She had a few white cells, some hemoglobin and her PH was off. Hopefully we caught it early and the antibiotics will help. Thanks for all the responses and well wishes. I am hoping she will be able to get comfortable now and relax. The vet said I can give her medacam tonight if she seems uncomfortable.

| I bet once the antibiotics take effect she will be better! That really may have been what was bothering her. Hope she has a good night!

| I hope antibiotics fix the problems. All in all, sounds like good news. Hope Pixie is back to her self in no time.
