Pembroke & Cardigan Welsh Corgi

disraeli · 01-08-2007, 09:35 AM

I just got back home from my mom's house last night. Poor little Andy had been peeing more often than usual, but I assumed it was due to the changed environment at mom's. Well, last night she kept trying to go out and potty, plus she kept licking at her *private area*. I think my baby has a urinary tract infection!

I know, it's nothing too serious - but I had to drop her off at the vet this morning and leave her. *sniff* I just felt bad having to leave her, but they didn't have a convenient appointment until Wednesday (and I want her to feel better asap).

*sigh* Just had to get it off my chest. Glad ya'll are here to listen.

Ahh, don't worry Tana she'll be fine. I bet they spoil her there. My vet only has about 3 Corgis in their practice and mine are adored and treated like the Royalty they are!

You are a good owner and they will take good care of her;

and if she were my dog, I would want her to feel better asap also. Let us know how she is doing.

Poor Andy and Tana! Sure hope Andy feels better soon.

Well, our vet gave Andy some antibiotics for now - BUT, she wonders if Andy might be a "crystal producer" - struvites. My vet said she had seen it in Corgis before. If that's the case, she will probably have to go on Hill's C/D prescription food - for life! I mean, if that's the worst thing that happens, that is certainly not terrible.

But, it's all pending a urine culture. They told me that they should know results by Thursday.

Tana,

Cindy's Darci had this problem this summer.

I did a search and found the thread for you.
