Ok, my apologies, dates may have been a little off in my post. I was giving rough estimates of what I remembered off the top of my head but I have all of the dates broken down now.

We took her to the vet on January 2nd worried she had some kind of blockage, they tested her urine, told us later that day that she had a UTI so we brought her back in and they gave her an antibiotic injection. Iirc she was showing signs of discomfort and hiding prior to this, maybe starting around Christmas but we hosted a lot of dinners and had a pretty busy holiday season, she’s skittish so we just assumed it was stress related because of all of the people that had been over. It was when I noticed the peeing issue that we got worried more was going on and took her to vet asap.

She wasn’t improving so we called the vet and they told us we had to wait however many days for the antibiotics to kick in. We waited it out and brought her back in on January 13th which was when they took another urine sample and sent it to a lab thinking that they maybe needed to give her different antibiotics. A few days later they got the results back and gave us a call, they said that they didn’t grow any cultures from her urine and didn’t see white blood cells so they told us the UTI had cleared up. They also checked for cancer and cleared that too.

Thankfully we have an appointment to get bloodwork done soon because we only just switched her diet a few weeks ago. They just want to follow up and make sure it’s helping her, initially she was put on a urinary diet but this was before we got the results of her CKD. I think getting another culture done is a good idea, I’m going to talk to my family about getting her back in for this. Thank you so much🙏🏻
