[Dailydrool] Desperate for UTI help

[Jennifer Kleinschmidt]

I posted ages ago about my Annabelle having recurrent UTI's and using baby
wipes!  Perhaps that was me?  Anyway, my vet also recommended a product
called Cranactin.  Give two capsules a day.  The product is important (not
just any cranberry supplement).  My vet said Cranactin has been tested for
efficacy and it was helpful for UTI's in dogs.  The trick is that cranberry
doesn't make urine acidic as originally thought.  There's a special
something in cranberries that gives it bacterial anti-adherence activity and
you want a product that preserves that special something.  Cranactin does
this.  I find Cranactin at Whole Foods here in Salt Lake.

I'm reaching out for help, advice just anything. My Wednesday is having
recurring UTI's. Our vet referred us to a specialist and he is thinking it
may be allergy related. They did an ultrasound and saw nothing. She has to
stay on antibiotics because if she goes off them[and this last time she made
it 2 days] she has to go back on them. I am just so depressed and worried
about her plus all the cultures, bloodwork, tests are is draining me
financially. She is no better than when we started. She gets an allergy work
up with an allergist Monday but, I just don't know what I'm going to do. I'm
thinking a 3 month long-term antibiotic this time in that maybe it has
settles deep and needs meds longer. I read where a drooler used baby wipes
on her hound and that has helped so, I'm doing that now when she comes in
from pottying. Words cannot express how devastating it is having your hound
not able to get well. I am just so sad and worried about her. Fortunately,
she feels good and is full of herself. She is eating and drinking as usual.
Lisa, Wednesday and Booty
