Subject: possible bladder infection, urine sample came back normal
My 6 year old neutered sable male is showing signs of a
possible bladder infection. Straining a lot while he is
going potty. He has been doing this for about 2 weeks now.
Also, he holds his urine and when he does go it's a lot more
then normal. He holds his poops too and goes a lot when he
does go. He will often times go pee and then just a little
bit of poop and then much later go poop and it's a lot of poop
for a little 1.7 lb guy. I took him to the vet last Friday
which was 1/4/02 and they felt his abdomen and told me that
his bladder was a bit on the large size for his body frame
considering he had gone pee 1 1/2 hours before this. Vet took
urine from him internally. They got the urine sample back and
all was normal, a little bit of red blood cells but not very
many. Waiting on the culture to come back, hopefully today.
I started him on .25 twice a day of clavamox Jan. 4th, we live
in CT. Hasn't been improving even with the anti-biotic. Not
sure where to go form here. Any thoughts or advice would be
much appreciated.
Thanks very much, Alicia and sweet sugar boy
