Subject: Update on possible Uterine Stump/Bladder infection
My local vet checked the urine and took a sample for a
sensitivity/culture test. The urine results showed trace amounts of
protein and leukocytes. Signs that yes, she probably has an
infection of sorts going on in there. (I understand that the
leukocytes show infection.. does the protein as well? What
does "trace protein" mean?) We're hoping we got enough of a sample
for the culture but Khali was NOT a happy camper during the
procedure. She's 1 pound 8 ounces and took 2 techs, myself and my
vet to get the sample. In the meantime, Khal is on Baytril twice a
day. I don't have the strength with me - sorry I can't be more
specific.
I'll wait to hear more about the culture but in the meantime, I hope
the antibiotics help. Thanks to all who posted and wrote to me
privately with suggestions. I really appreciate it! If anyone has
anything they'd like to add, please speak up! Thankfully, Khali is
acting normal and is eating well in the meantime.
Sincerely,
Erin
