Hi Everyone,
I had a feeling for a few days that Misty had a UTI. I was not sure because we have just moved to GA and in CA there was a fenced back yard and she was able to go out anytime she wanted..and she loves to be outside. So, when we moved here to my house in GA I didnt think anything about her wanting to go out alot..I have to have her on a leash now, so Im out with her each time. Well a few days ago I noticed that she was squatting alot each time we went out. I thought she may have a UTI, but since I am not really working I dont have alot of money..so I decided to wait and see..then I though maybe it was just imagination that she was squatting alot..but last night when we wnet for a walk she was squatting at almost every yard. So I took her to the vet this morning and she has a bad UTI. I feel horrible about waiting those few days...I just wasnt sure and now I feel soooo bad. But she is now on antibiotics now, and the urine is going to be cultured to make sure she is on the right antibiotics. I just feel horrible that she has been in pain and I didnt know it and I didnt act quickly like I should have. Boy those goldens sure hide pain well...I know from experience that those UTIs HURT!
Im sorry this ended up to be long and rambling...thank you for reading.
If anyof you know anything I can give her to stop the pain till the antibiotics kick in I sure would ike to know! I forgot to ask the vet and she didnt offer me anything.
Well, have a great weekend and thanks for reading my LONG post.
