Our puppy, Kochanie, is five months old. She has a Urinary Tract Infection. On Oct 15 we took her into an emergency vet clinic when she suddenly started to pee every five minutes. She was put on Amoxicillin for 10 days.
The infection returned 48 hours after the last dose of Amoxicillin. We took her into our regular vet and had an urinalysis, and culture done. She had an Ecoli and Proteus infection. We gave Kochanie Clavamox 250 mg for 3 weeks.
This Sunday November 20, the urinary tract infection symptoms started again. I took her into the vet yesterday, Monday, and the infection is back.
She had an urinalysis, Radiograph and IDEXX Aerobic C/S. Kochanie is back on Clavamox, 250 mg twice a day, until the culture comes back with results. This is the third round of antibiotics in five weeks.
We are also starting Cranberry Extract pills tomorrow. While she is on the antibiotic, I am giving her 1 tbl yogurt with active cultures and 1 tsp of Metamucil because her stools are very soft on the Clavamox.
Her weight today was 52.2 lbs.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for us ?
