[Dailydrool] Dottie's first bladder infection, Clavamox?

[DAISY7521 at aol.com]

Hello everyone, I haven't been keeping up too well on the DD,  I have had 
so many losses this yr. so far, it's hard to have interest in much of  
anything........with Honey gone, it's a huge emptiness. Too many deaths in my  
family so far this yr. and I am just not with it yet..........going to take a  
long time I am afraid.  But anyway,
Dottie has come down with her first bladder infection, poor  girl woke us 
up 6 times last night to go out, plus pee peed in the house about 4  or 5 
times.
We were at the vets as soon as they opened. I brought urine  with me, 
suspecting it might be that.  He said yes, there is bacteria in  her urine, so he 
gave her a shot of something to get the antibiotics started,  dummy me 
didn't ask what it was, just didn't think. He told me to give her  
Clavamox, when we got home, and then again at 3, and then one just before  
bed. Which I just did. When she goes pee pee, she really goes. Guess I never 
 paid that m uch attention to that before, maybe it's from the  Clavamox,?
Or the injection?  Does Clavamox maybe cause them to  paint and drink more 
water?  It's not a lot of hard panting, just something  she has been doing 
the last day or 2.  It's really making me worried. She  eats fine, drinks 
fine, wants her carrots and cucumbers, and a few little  treats, am I  nuts? I 
can't stand the thought of losing her. He said the  clavamox works fast, and 
she hasn't had anymore accidents, but then I am making  sure she goes out 
every couple hrs.
I know Dottie is depressed over losing Honey. She just isn't  the same, she 
is a lot quieter, and just doesn't seem happy. Although she still  gives me 
heck when she wants something, and I love it, isn't that crazy, that is  
normal.
Can anyone offer me any information on bladder infections dogs  get?
I've had my share, but I "couldn't" go pee pee then, but she  was going all 
over the ho use.............I hear they are fairly  common?
Anyway, the cause? Stress of losing Honey, the horrible heat,  losing my 
dad????   Sure could use a little encouragement  ............maybe I am 
noticing every single thing now, but it seems like she is  breathing a little 
faster even sleeping????? I'm driving myself nuts I  think.
thanks so much..........Barbie, & Dottie &  Scooby
