So Bertha's sterile urine catch (needle through abdomen) came back + e coli!! How flippin strange is that? She is not on a raw diet and given very limited table food. She is obviously treated like a princess so not covered in feces, etc. She has not had diarrhea that would cause a smear to go up her urethra and besides we wipe her vulva often. She has not had symptoms of a GI infection of e coli either that could have caused the uti after going in her blood stream. Could this have been caused by the Natures Domain food? I see recalls of the Salmon flavor in certain regions for Salmonella but not e coli. Or as Lisa and I discussed, possible contamination after her polyp removal? Oh and she does not eat feces. She eats anything else but she does have some standards, lol. Possibly this has been the culprit all along and we never got rid of it since it is a 3-6 week treatment with strong antibiotics. Does anyone have any history of this or ideas? I am hopeful we have finally found the cause and the cure of her problems. We are half way with the food switch to Fromm Pork and Peas and got her the Urinary Health tablets vs the Cranberry tablets.
my pants $154 for 3 weeks of pills. I think I said a cuss word at the clerk in shock and my jaw ell slack. These damn well better work or Bertha is getting a job, lol
