Hi everyone! Sorry long story...Our little Pippen girl is about 16 months now and ever since we brought her home as a puppy she has had non-stop UTIs. She has been on countless doses of antibiotics and gets better while she is on them and we do get her re-checked sometimes after she is done and every time we have, the infection has been gone but then pops back up a few weeks later.
A few months ago we had her spayed and soft palate surgery and she was on prednisone for a little while after that. She kept having little accidents and "leaking" but I thought it was just effects from the prednisone. After a couple weeks from stopping the prednisone and no improvements I took her in for another culture and of course it was another infection. I asked the vet about if she may have incontinence since she would "leak" in her sleep and wake up with a wet butt and legs. She gave her more antibiotics and also Proin to start a week later
After being on the antibiotic a week she still wasn't improving that much but after adding the Proin she stopped leaking almost right away! Then after she was done with the antibiotic we had another culture done and there was no infection and she was doing great for awhile so I thought she was finally fixed with being on the Proin.
We were out of town last week and got back the other day and she seemed to be having a little bit of UTI symptoms again and then this morning woke up and let her out of her crate and her butt and legs were soaking wet [emoji31] We have a vet appointment on Saturday for our other bully so I will have her checked again then but we just can't keep dealing with this almost every month!!
Has anyone else had this problem and found anything to help besides constant antibiotics???
