Our Peruvian Viringos - neurodegenerative disease

Zara's ultrasound is done! Radiologist said that her kidneys and bladder look great, healthy. Her bladder has less junk in it (started her on the royal canin urinary SO diet 2 weeks ago). So we aren't gonna be doing any more antibiotics since she's been doing pretty good urine wise. We are going to be keeping her on the prescription diet long term, so it will be fun trying to keep her interested in the food haha. We will probably mix it with other brands of food. Chewy.com recently added Just Food For Dogs to their site so I will probably order some of that to mix in. Anyways, yay for good news! As for getting Zara more used to being outside, we are working on it. She still barks at almost every dog, but shes barking a bit less at people.

Good news the clavamox seems to be working! Zara's urine is no longer red/brown colored and is back to yellow. She is also trying to pee on her own sometimes, so that's really good! She can't pee a lot out at once so I still express her bladder, but any progress is good. We will be having her on the clavamox longer and then also going back to the Royal Canin Urinary SO dogfood, probably long term, because it seems the bladder grit is back. Not 100% sure but starting her on it just in case. The radiologist appointment will probably be later this month, to check out her kidneys and bladder. Since they both look a bit unusual. I will update again later :) we are gonna try to get out for a hike tomorrow morning. I'll update with pictures after then.

Well Zara's UTI is back with a vengeance. Yesterday her urine was red, and she peed involuntarily several times.  We took her to the vet yesterday and got an x-ray (checking for bladder stones) and then the urine analysis and urine culture again.  Also started her on the clavamox antibiotics again, until we get results back from the urine culture. The vet mentioned that her kidneys looked "cystic" or fluid filled, but wasn't 100% sure.  Today I got the call back, x-ray results showed no bladder stones. Urine analysis showed quite a bit bacteria, so still waiting on the urine culture to make sure clavamox is still a good antibiotic to be using. We are also going to go ahead with an ultrasound for Zara's bladder and kidneys, they're concerned about the bladder lining possibly having something going on with it. So I'm waiting for the quote for that then going to set up the appointment.  Zara has been drinking lots of water, she's still eating ...
