<DIV>First off, I want to let Harley and Colette are having drool and prayer
sent their way, as well to all the others needing it. Hope both are doing
better.</DIV>

<DIV>When I first got Millie, she had a UTI and had red blood cells in her
urine. After treatment, the red count went down. In November it
increased a bit. Then in January she had what I thought was a pee issue
and took in another sample and the red count increased to 10 to 20 in the
sample. Then last night she got me up at 3:30 am to go pee so I figured I
better take in another sample. Tried at 7, but fell trying to get
it. Near noon I got a sample and the vet said the count went up to
50. She had no idea why and gave several thoughts including having an
ultra sound. So later today she had one. I of course feared cancer,
tumors and all other bad things. It came back negative. In fact, the
vet said that all her organs looked great, in fact, they looked like she was a
younger hound. They also took a sterile urine sample to check out. If
an infection, drugs, and if not, some steroids to fix things. The good
thing, nothing bad, the bad, a big vet bill. At least she looks in pretty
good health for a 12 year old grand dame.</DIV></DIV>
