Going on an antibiotic for 14 days and Veterinarian believes she will start to see relief within 48 hours.


The vet didn't prescribe a special food as well? I'm guessing he/she must've found many hard granules in the urine to necessitate it, but my puppy had to take a full round of antibiotics and eat this food for 2 months, she's actually still not finished the food!

Apparently the food helps their kidneys to process water more easily and eliminates the hard granules, which cause irritation, and hence the blood. Just make sure you get her urine checked again in a couple weeks.

The antibiotics will have your pup good as new in 48 hours for sure though. I know what you're going through and feel your pain.

This is my little girl, almost 3.5 weeks now. She's a silver lab for those wondering...

Beautiful dog you have there!

He has her on Sulfamethoxazole | Treimethoprim 480 mg 1/2 tablet, 2 x per day.

Last night, she ended up having an accident (urine) in her kennel around midnight. I had taken her out around 10 p.m. before I went to bed. Cleaned it up and cleaned her up.

I then went back to sleep and woke up at 4 a.m. and she had no accidents (getting 4 hours out of her is fairly good, considering she is only 3 months old and with a UTI). I've been with her this morning and she is in much better spirits (she's starting to nibble and bite again).

Not urinating multiple times as she used to (outside), which is a good thing. Veterinarian said to keep her hydrated as much as possible with this medicine. No restrictions with her food that she is currently taking.
