Annette, I'm sorry I didn't see this before. Wow having a rough time lately, poor babies

. I'm glad to hear a good update though. Mandy is in my thoughts, both your girls are! Sending hugs and kisses to them and wags and kisses from T&T.

We will keep the postive thougts going for our favorite ChocolatePuppy.

Our lab mix female has constant symptoms of uti. Though the last time a different vet at the same clinic diagnosed vaginitis instead of uti. Our mix is spayed but they suggest a nip and tuck down there because urine pools in the loose skin around that area. Something to suggest to your vet. Also the vet did a vaginal swab and cultured it to find the right antibiotic, which turned out to be Cipro

Hope this may help.

*update* on Mandy: When I got home from work yesterday, Mandy was a mess. She had rubbed her snout almost raw and chewed a spot on her tail.

We have her on a prescription antihistamine now for her allergies. I was suppose to give her one in the a.m. to start. At 4:00 a.m. I thought I gave her one, I found the pill in the peanut butter jar when I went to give her her antibiotic.

(I give her peanut butter on bread to give her her pills) That means she has had no anti itch help for over 24 hours but she's doing fine, no chewing or scratching.

It could be because of the colder weather. Last Friday when it was colder she had a good day then too. So I started her on the pills, just to be safe.
I hope this is the end of it for her, she has been miserable for quite awhile.

The skin infection seems to be gone, it's seems to be her allergies we're dealing with now.
Thanks again to everyone who has kept Mandy in their thoughts and prayers. It means the world to me. And Mandy thanks you too.

I hope she's better. Keep us updated.

Mandy is doing well with the medication she is on.(Temaril-P) The last few days she hasn't scratched or chewed on herself at all.

At first she was on 3 pills twice a day (due to her size) but was drinking and peeing way too much (a side effect) We have her on 2 pills twice a day until next Monday. Then we go to 1 pill twice a day for a week. Hopefully she'll be all better then or we'll need to find the cause of her itching.
Also, she is experiencing a false pregnancy again.

The poor thing, it's one thing after another.
Thanks again for all thoughts and prayers, I'm praying so hard to God and St. Francis that this is seasonal allergies and she will be better. She seems so much better now, playing with her stuffies and romping around, she just has to be better!
