Dog dribbling urine and repeated bladder infections
My pup-Lizzy(5months old, mixed Beagle, female neutered) - has had a bladder infection almost constantly since we got her. Took her to vet and he gave her antibiotic-Metronidazole 250mg.1/2 tab evry 12 hrs.-was mild..didn't work. Took her back he gave her much stronger antibiotic-Primor 120mg.1.5 tabs a day. she STILL has the bladder infection..seems to have gotten SOME better briefly but worsen again. She "dribbles" every time you call her, stop to pick her up, or scold her..thus making it impossible SO FAR to house train her....When we do take her out to void, she has a tad bit of mucus in her urine. no blood. WHAT CAN WE DO..and WHAT IS the PROBLEM? (she doesn't seem to have any fever, seems energetic for a while..like maybe 2 hours spells, then naps, then feels good again..eats well..so her symptons..other than her dribbling...are non-existent.) PS..even though I have wondered whether she was hurt when spayed(she was spayed a few days before we got her)..I have wondered if there may have been a surgical "accident"-slip of instrument-- into the bladder.??? There are no marks or scars and seem fine in that area through. |

Dog with fleas
Last night my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too. I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later. I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly. I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since. We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room. I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see. I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start. The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Click
