pupdate

got the news from the vet - sweet puppety has a bladder infection. they will complete the culturing and id an antibiotic that'll kill the beasites.

ugh. if her urine pH goes too alkaline, she's susceptible to infection. if her urine goes too acid, the stones can form. so which is worse? too many courses of antibiotics can produce resistant strains, blah, blah. this is her third infection in a little over a year. i'll be grilling dr. m when she's back from her vacation, that's for sure.

i guess i just have to keep watching her like a hawk - she has no symptoms right now, strong thing that she is. the stand-in vet was impressed that i caught it at all. so that's good news anyway - she's eating, has good energy, and keeps nibbling my armpit! oh, sweet girl, ok, i'm coming...
