| How is Diva doing??? Hang in there! How's the girl feeling despite this nuisance?[/QUOTE] No signs of anything wrong. Plays as usual, pees, poops normal, doesnt seem overly thirsty, no loss of apetite. In general good Yorkie humor. Thanks for asking. I will keep everyone posted as soon as I hear word from Paris vet. |

| Do keep her on the h/d until you find out whats wrong. Stones is the first thing I thought of when I read the post. If a stone is lodged in her urinary tract somewhere, it will produce some blood...if its lodged in her urethra, it can certainly cause her to bleed some and make her tuck her tail because its painful.....diet high in grain and veggies will produce alkaline urine which can be responsible for an enviroment to produce certain types of stones...but diets high in protein can also set up the enviroment to produce these...so having her on a diet for this problem, (such as she is on) is best for now....rice is good for dogs that have GI trouble, but can keep the urine alkaline because its a grain....Here is a link to a great site that goes a little more into detail about this and they syptoms a dog will present with stones...hope this helps and hope your baby gets better....the reason vets will most always put a dog on antibiotics for urinary problems (like human docs)...some stones form because of infections and IF there is a stone...it acts like a sharp object that actually "nicks and cuts" the areas in the urinary tract it touches and like all cuts or open areas, its a perfect set-up for an infection (if there already wasn't one to begin with), so they want to make sure they eliminate that problem...a urinary tract infection can make these little ones very very sick...not to mention painful...I'm not a DVM yet either not even near being one, LOL, but am a licensed nurse and OB/GYN is my passion and we dealt with lots of urinary tract problems.....gosh didn't mean to ramble this long.... http://www.2ndchance.info/calculi.htm I just hope this helps you and I hope this isn't whats wrong with the little one...I hope its very minor!!! They have some excellent Vets in France.

| Latest on Diva Hello all, We just got back the lab reports for what ails Diva. Looks like she has struvite crystals in her urine and she has TWO infections in her vagina. The Paris vet prescribes antibitoics and Hills S/D canned dog food. And he says feed her this crap for 3 months! Poor baby. Thankfully we fly home next week. If we feed her S/d she is going to want to pee. The flight is 10 hours! What a nightmare summer this has been. |
