Poor Layla

It's not your fault at all. We all hope those little things go away on their own. I think your a great mommy for not letting it slide any longer. Maybe next time don't ask Scott just go with your maternal instinct. You know how man hate going to doctors visits.

Sending positive thoughts and energy to you and Layla. XOXO

Oh Lindsey, there could not be a better mom than you. You have done so much to make her life happy and the best it could be. You cannot possibly know everything that is going on with her and I would think the same thing that the urine would clear up. I bet she will be fine with the antibiotics and I don't think it will be a bad thing for her to have to take them off and on for the rest of her life. My mom has to take an antibiotic every night to prevent a urinary track infection.

Thank you guys so much. I am feeling a little better about it all now. The vet thinks she may have a resistance to the antibiotic she was taking, and I think she said the culture will probably let them know exactly what will work, instead of just trying things until they work. We will see I guess! The one thing I am thankful for is that she can't feel it and she doesn't know anything is wrong. She is barking at her brother and eating and drinking like normal. I wonder if this is what made Kash start standing up to her more. When he first came, I was sure Layla was going to end up being the alpha, but then he started coming into the bathroom while we were expressing her, and he'd be sniffing at the toilet as she was peeing. He obviously knew she had an infection before we did! Maybe that said to him that she is weak and he should be at the top.

Yes Lindsey, I think that is what is wrong, she was resistant to the antibiotics. The culture is actually a culture and sensitivity. They will culture the urine to identify the type of bacteria and then test the bacteria to see which antibiotic it is sensitive to (which antibiotic will kill it). When she gets the right antibiotic, she will be OK.

Thank you Gayle! You've made me feel better about it. I have faith that we can get it under control.
