Urinary Infection

I noticed some blood in Fluff's wee so took her to the vets, there was quite a lot when I noticed last weekend, took her straight in, he gave her a thorough check up and said she seems really healthy and bright and active so he thinks it more likely to be a urinary tract infection rather than carcinoma and he has given us medicine (baytril I think) to give her twice a day and then after to take another sample in to be checked. Well you can imagine the fun we are having as she is a feisty monster so I get her in a soft material catbed, hold it closed, get her nose out and squirt the medicine into her mouth.

Just wondered really if anyone else has any knowledge of this?

Thanks

Jane
 
Did the Vet send a wee sample off for testing ? (to identify if infection is present and what bacteria are involved )

Is Fluff straining at all when she wee's ?

How old is she and are you going to get her spayed once this current problem has be sorted out ?
 
Hi Jane, good to hear from you.

I will have to ask Steve about the sample, he took her for her check-up.

As far as I can see she is not straining, poos are very normal.

She is 5 years old and I would def like to get her done if she is not too old.

Thanks

Jane
