Hi, hope this is the right place to post this. I spoke with Dr. Catherine and she said to post the problem on the thread. Lots of excellent info!
Nitro my shepherd/lab mix is 7 1/2. He's been through a lot. We've evacuated after hurricane Ida and moved to two states after the storm with my other dog Nyxie.
Yesterday he started whimpering and kept peeing in the house. When I walked him he couldn't pee a few times. When I used wee-wee pads in the house i saw blood speckles.
There aren't any good emergency vets here and since we just moved he has no regular vet here either.
I gave him CBD/G and medicinal mushrooms MyCommunity Host Defense. He was better but still peeing here and there.
Then I started Amoxicillin 500mg. He was great through the night no peeing or crying. I gave him one more in the morning and had signed up here and set up an appointment last night for today.
So now I'm stopping the Amoxicillin and getting cranberry and Rescue Remedy and I need to learn the Bangston method.
He had issues when we first moved in holding it. It was after we had been on the road for almost 2 months and went back to organic homemade food which he was fine with for years before so I went back to Natures Balance veg kibble he was used to on the road and added cranberry juice and the issues cleared up immediately.
He's had 1/3 of his intestines removed due to IBD/S I adopted him from a really abusive and neglectful home. His anxiety is pretty high but some of that is the breed. They named him Nitro. It's so fitting. I have Houdini on his collar because he's as big as me on his hind legs but he can slide under the shutter doors like a mouse and slip out without me even knowing. It took a year to sort of plug up all the holes on the old property. lol
He likes to keep going. His personality is very happy and upbeat.
