Lily is doing well but her glucose is still a little high probably due to an infection. @tiffmaxee I have posted her bloodwork if you want to have a look I would appreciate it. I am thinking her white blood cells are high because of a UTI but not sure. She is on Clavamox since last night and I am giving her a packet of fortiflora daily for her tummy.

Hope everyone has a wonderful safe day!

 

Hi. Sorry that I’m just seeing this. I’ll look. It’s interesting that there wasn’t any bacteria but rods present. I bet it’s a kidney infection. That requires a longer time on antibiotics than a normal uti so I would ask about that. She has glucose in her urine so you need to be aggressive at following TR I think. Let me look at her ss.

 

I would increase. She sees green nadirs but too high the rest of the time. If you do decide to increase do everything you can to prevent her going under 40.

 

Thanks for looking Elise. I will increase in the morning.

 

I thought bacteria was high.

 

The urinalysis says rods but no bacteria. Is that correct? If bacteria was present a culture and sensitivity should have been run to see which antibiotic would work best.

 

This one explains it might be a uti. I think it could be a uti that led to a kidney infection.

I see her urine was a little diluted which makes an infection more likely and the bacteria didn’t show up. According to this a culture and sensitivity still was called for and that’s what my vet would do.
