Help?

Not all pets are painful or lick their vulvas when they have a UTI. Bring her back and ask that they run a urinalysis (this seems CRAZY to me that it wasn't done in the first place, anyway, since you brought up a UTI... any vet here would have been happy to run one for you just to rule it out as a possibility!!!!). I'd recommend against obtaining it yourself as collecting a voided sample can introduce bacteria and can throw it off... unless your vet doesn't obtain sterile samples via cystocentesis.

I didn't really know that. They just told me to collect it myself because it has to be the first pee of the day. I just a soup ladle from the dollar store and used that. Put it into a clean butter container. I'll ask them about it again on monday
