we gots a predicament here at the audies. my dory dog has a history of kidney/bladder infections. a round of antibiotics and it clears up. the last time she saw the vet dr senderak suggested doing an ultrasound of her bladder to check for stones due to the recurrent nature of the infections. i took a urine sample in a month ago, and instead of testing it for the usual stuff (whatever that would be) the vet tech accidentally sent it out to be cultured and it grew a nasty bacteria that is very very difficult to treat. the vet wanted another sample after she got groomed and she made sure the groomer shaved around her "rosebud" so she'd be clean. that was tuesday, so when i was outside getting her sample today she is passing lots of blood in her urine. so now we are talking blood work at 4 pm today and an ultrasound at 11:15 tomorrow. i can hear my checkbook screaming already, but i could care less how much it costs. i would sell mr audie to get treatment for my babydog. anywho - anyone else experienced anything like this with their dogs ? she just turned 8 by the way.....

audie: so glad it seems to be a simple infection. Dory is lucky to have you... If you need some real advice and guidance talk to jdarg, as you know. she has helped me a lot with Lulu before.😀

well, we just got back from the other vet, and dory did not have any evidence of stones in her bladder, now we just have to wait for her cytology and culture results to rule out everything else. looks like it may just be yet another infection.... she starts her antibiotics today ... thanks to all for sending good wishes and thoughts our way ! :wub:That's great. Hope the other tests are normal.
Pepper sends a get well wish to Dory.

:clap_1: Good news girl! I have had a dog that had similar problems and I didn't post because, diffrent breed, different circumstances. I am so glad you got a good report! By the way our Bailey and Guinness turned 2 today. What happiness and joy, not to mention trash, leaves and occasionaly smelly things they have brought to our lives! ;-) I'm glad your sweet Dory is going to be OK!
PS Tootsie has offered great advice regarding jdarg. Jdarg knows "dogs", and a great gull to know! :wub:
