[NAGDU] Krokus doing better

[Cindy Ray]

Tracy, when Jet, my first black lab, had the infection, they first found she
had concentrated urine. They found no infection, but she was a heavy
drinker, so they kept her and exercised water deprivation. After about 30
hours, they found she had a severe infection. After that I had to ration her
waters.

Subject: [NAGDU] Krokus doing better

To recap briefly, Krokus has had several tests to try to find out why he has
to go out and pee so often.  The latest was an ultrasound and an adrenal
test.  The ultrasound was normal, but saw some sediment in his bladder,
which might mean an infection, despite several cultures turning up clean.
So the vet prescribed a course of antibiotics, which I started giving
Friday. I'm very happy to say that Krokus is doing better.  Today, he didn't
even want to pee when I took him out at lunchtime, after a midmorning
relieving.  Unheard-of!

I'm not a fan of giving antibiotics without a clearcut reason, but, in this
case, it seems to have been the right thing to do. What a relief!

Tracy
