The other day, Gumbo started pottying on her bed and when sitting, had some urine leaking out. I went to clean it up and there was a trace of blood. I took her to the dr and they gave her 2 weeks of antibiotics. Today, the vet called and said that she definitely has a bacterial infection and was developing crystals. I am assuming that it is struvite stones? She wanted me to do the medicine, a special canned dog food for one month and then bring her back and lets get another urine test in a month. I am not sure what the diet is or why I'm having to change it. I give her Fromm's Beef Fritta for dry food and I cook for her for her daily food. (Hamburger meat, brown rice, oats, green beans and eggs cooked in beef broth). I got to looking at stuff online and it said that she maybe should not be on a different diet and I should find a new vet. I have not been dis-pleased about the care she has gotten here. They are honestly one of the oldest and best vets here. I also asked about her skin and she said that she was not sure about if it would get worse but we needed to at least try this. I am unsure why the antibiotics would not just clear it up. I'm overwhelmed and worried about my sweet baby.
