Around last weekend, Kaci started to pee inside. She also peed frequently. On Saturday morning, she saw the v-e-t about this and was diagnosed with Urinary Tract Infection. She was given Clavamax to take. The supply we were given runs out early next week but the Clavamax hasn’t seemed to have any effect. If there’s nothing by Tuesday, it’s back to the (shhhhh) v-e-t.
Corky used to have constant UTI’s. It would go away and return all of the time. It was suggested that I give her a urinary acidifier on a daily basis. It never came back again.
I’ll google it-I hope it works for Kaci like it did for Corky.
Yikes, poor baby. I hope this clears up soon. Bless her little heart. ☺
It’s a pain for her to pee.
(insert price is right losing horn) Hope she feels better soon.
More like “The Gong Show”.
Sending POTP to Kaci. Hope she gets better soon and does not have to go back to the (VET).

Since you’re both white, if Kaci has to return to the vet, she wonders if you’d go for her.
Would do a lot but going to the VET for Kaci is a big NO
Aww, hope she’s better soon and doesn’t have to revisit the you-know-who.
She enjoys the ride there and back-but not during.
Yeah, Sam is the same way though he goes Flat Stanley as soon as the key is turned and doesn’t pop up until the car is shut off. Strange dog. Mine, not yours. 😉
The poor dear! Let’s hope that when she gets enough meds in her bloodstream she’ll start feeling better.
A girl has to pee and has a right to do it without pain.
I’m sorry about Kaci…..I know she’s miserable……I’m ending her some POTP for sure……….and of course a Sammy Hug.
Love, Sammy
Thanks, ginger guy.
Cranberry juice lowers the pH of the urine, making it more acidic. Fall back on Grandma’s old home cure. It has the potential effect on the ability of some types of bacteria to stick to the bladder wall. Yes Lee has used it on her pets and she drinks it herself. Cheap and worth a try. Ouch Kaci ~ we feel for you.
Sweet William The Scot
I’ll give it a try. Since it hurts to pee, I don’t think I’ll be having any Moosehead beer for dinner.
Hope you feel better soon, Kaci!! Sounds like cranberry juice in in your future!! Let us all know if it helps.
I guess getting sprayed by an ocean is better than a trip to the you know who.
Oh dear….you’ve got a few more days to improve before the v.e.t. Hope it works.
Yeah, but the problem is that the vets has other things to deal with. This weekend, the vet is moving the “pracitce” (love that term, when do they get it right?) ten miles away (that’s 16 km in Oz). I’m not gonna get 100% attention.
I have been through that very same thing! Hope you feel better! Otherwise they’ll take another sample and give you some other pills. I am convalescing myself! Had some insides taken away so I don’t bring any more knuckleheads in the world. Now I can’t run or swim for 2 weeks! That’ll drive em crazy! Me too!
The big snip—-no, not again. My rescue org did that and I won;t stand for it again.
Hope Kaci feels better soon!
We do also, she’s family.
Oh dear! we are sorry to hear this Kaci! We hope you are feeling better soon!
Thanks Edgar-I hope I can pee pain free again-it’s a thing that one took for granted.
We hope there’s nothing to keep a secret about past Tuesday!
There are no secrets when Kali’s in control.
Oh noes!!!! Sorry gurl! I hopes you gets to feelin’ betters real soon! Hey, you could drinks a cranberry margarita!!! Oh YEAH! That sounds delish!!! I thinks I have some cranberries around here somewheres….yuppers! There they are…I’ll send one to you FedEx overnight!
If that doesn’t work, I’m keepin’ my paws crossed if you have to visit the v.e.t. agains…..whatevers you do…don’t go in the back room!!! Nothin’ good ever happens back there!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
It doesn’t matter whether it works or not, send us all some cranberry margaritas-it will improve the attitude at this house. Call 1-800-SEND-RITA for the address.
Oh no. UTIs are no fun at all. We hope it clears up soon, you’re face kinda says it all in that photo.
Wally & Sammy
It’s not fun. At least I didn’t spread it to Kali or Kismet. I don’t know how you’d get a pill down a bird.
Kaci I hope that evil UTI runs away soon and the clavamox will help you to chase all that sickies away from you. We used it for one of the huskies but unfortunately it wasn’t good for the stomach (puke-pawty) and we switched to baytril. I cross my paws that it works for you and you haven’t to seen that vet-guy again. POTP, hugs&kisses :o)
Since it was Saturday, it was the vet-girl. I’m without a vet until Tuesday-the entire office is moving about 7 miles (12km) south.
Oh no! What an uncomfortable state of affairs. We send sympathy, scritches, and hopes that the meds kick in. She is such a precious. You can see she doesn’t feel up to speed.
Thanks, Skyler. If it shows that much, I have to put on more make-up.
Get Well Soon. Perhaps you need to make an appointment at the Ainsley Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies, a Division of Angus Fala Worldwide Enterprises? My team of crackhead scientists are doing wonderful things in nutrition and UTIs. I have personally found that a healthy dosage of rancid raw baby bunny meat will cure about anything that ails the common dog.
Bunnies we have in abundance and the peeps don’t let us at them. They won’t let us at the lizards, tarantulas or snakes either. Perhaps you can send me a scientific report about the usefulness of any of these to treat UTI.
Kaci, sorry to hear you’re not feeling so hot, UTI’s are no fun. Feel better soon.
Aroo to you,
Sully
Thanks, Sully. I’ll try to make this a Fearless Friday.
get well soon Kaci,xx Speedy
Thanks, Speedy. I’m not too speedy today.
Oh man, I hate to hear this. She’s just so sweet looking in that little photo. Give her a hug for me, will you? With your big ‘ole wings?
Kismet did and I didn’t even bite her.
Kaci, we hope u get better soon.
Thanks-hopefully I’ll be back to my abnormal self soon.
Oh no!! hope you get better soon
Wags
Oreo
Not yet. We’re getting her different meds and some of the suggestions made here. We don’t care who gets the credit, just as long as Kaci is better.
Hope Kaci is better now!!
Not really-we switched meds and the new one works just as poorly as the old one-but at three times the price.
😦 Poor Kaci. Sending healing thoughts!!
Feel better Kaci! Keep us updated before Tuesday!
She’s on different meds-same non-effect. She’s still peeing and pooping in the house frequently. It’s probably back to the vet because the vet is getting a call.
