Hi Vets,
I hope this is okay to post but my heart is breaking and I just want to know I'm doing the right thing.
I have a 12 and a half year old border collie girl, (who is the most special 4 legged lady ever!) She struggles with painful joint after a broken hock, and had some time on inflacam. Since October she's had 2 UTI's and the most recent dip test has shown raised proteins, nitrates & something else which I can't remember 🤦♀️ but basically it's looking like another UTI.
Both the other infections were treated with a 1week course of antibiotics, this time its been recommended for her to have a bladder & kidney ultrasound before any antibiotics are given. She's eating, wanting to play, drinking normally and if it wasn't for regular dip tests, she isn't showing any signs of being poorly!
Is there anything else I could be doing, checking for, or asking for?
TIA
