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.

Thanks, your's is beautiful as well. That picutre I posted was taken maybe two weeks ago, probably less, and she's already gained almost 10 lbs. You'll be amazed how much they grow at that age in a week's time.

Our's was urinating CONSTANTLY, both inside and outside, waking up at all hours of the night whining to go out, etc. It was really a hinderance to house training, but the antibiotics took care of it really quickly and things went back to normal. We haven't had any accidents in the kennel since the UTI cleared up, she's also sleeping throughout the night, although when she hears the alarm go off in the morning she won't let us snooze, she's ready to go out immediately. That probably has more to do with the fact that we also feed her in the morning and she wants her damn breakfast lol.

ETA: We were also told to let her have as much water as she wanted, which was a lot. Just be aware that as soon as your pup drinks, it's time to go out, pretty much immediately.

Also, spotting (like you were talking about before) is an early sign of a UTI. If you see her start to do that after she gets better, there's a good chance she's developed another one.
