Hi Dr. Christina,
Thanks so much for your call on Monday regarding Carina's possible UTI. The recommendations were so helpful. I quadrupled her amla/rosehip extract vit C and started giving her cranberry juice 3xday. By Thursday she had no symptoms and continues to be fine. The vet called this evening and shared her urinalysis results and bloodwork. Bloodwork was ok. She had a slightly elevated white cell count and some crystals. E. Coli also showed up in the results. I told the vet Carina no longer has symptoms and seems fine but she wants to put her on another round of antibiotics that targets the E. Coli. She said the levels were high enough she'd want Carina to be on them even though she no longer has symptoms. She said the antibiotics she had originally given will not help E. Coli. Like we discussed I never gave Carina that first round of antibiotics. Should I put her on this new set of antibiotics because of the E. Coli?
Thanks,
Kirsi
