She not only has a yeast infection in her left ear, but she also has a bladder infection. Poor little baby. The vet gave me 2 different antibiotics, and gave her first dose while I was there. I feel so bad because she has probably been giving me signs since early on this week
Well you got it taken care of and thats whats important i know how you feel though when i took sunny to the vet they were like he has fleas i felt so bad i thought i had gotten rid of them
I'm sorry, but did you explain what the symptoms were for the bladder infection somewhere on the board? I haven't been here in a while, my life is super crazy right now but I am on "vacation". Chanel pees alot and wonder what the signs were that she had been giving you.
Excessive urination (PU)
Excessive drinking (PD)
Urinating suddenly, inability to hold urine as long as normal
Leaking urine
Urinating in inappropriate places (like accidents inside or not where they should be)
Strong smelling urine
Bloody urine or very dark urine
Excessive licking of vulva/prepuce
Lethargy
If the infection travels up into the kidneys, vomiting and diarrhea may also occur.
If you suspect any of these signs, get your dog checked out sooner rather than later. An untreated UTI can travel to the kidneys and cause major problems. UTIs are also commonly found secondary to bladder stones. In Maltese pups with frequent UTIs or bladder stones, they should be checked for liver shunt.
CONSTANT peeing of a little amount
Excessive licking of her "area"
She was also rubbing her butt on the ground
She peed on my bed for the first time in MONTHS.
Last night she got up once to go potty, and I noticed she was really itching her ears so I gave her, her second dose of her antibiotic... she slept right through to 7:00 (which is unheard of here).
She is running around again today ...
I am keeping my fingers crossed she is back to her normal self by Christmas.
I am so glad you found out what is wrong with her, now maybe you will be able to sleep through the night
:new_Eyecrazy: . I remember your other post where you said she kept waking you up, I wondered if she might have something brewing, since it was not normal behavior for her. These babies are so good at telling us when something is wrong with them-she will be better in no time and you both will feel better with some sleep-yahooo
. I can't believe she is totally sleeping through the night (knock on wood). I was super tired last night so we went to bed around 10:15...she slept till 7:15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT NIGHT!!!!
I am just so happy for her (more then me) she is feeling better.
Question about heartworm preventive medicine? Anyone on here not using heartguard or interceptor etc and just going with all natural products? I am trying to decide if I should give my 17 week old puppy heartguard or interceptor or just trying to go the all natural route. What are your thoughts?

Ok, I’m going crazy. I cannot seem to keep my boy clean. I feel like I have a real Human little boy. I pride myself on keeping a pretty clean house. And very very uncluttered. I don’t even have end tables in my living room if that gives you any idea. But my boy seems to turn up with the dirtiest...
Hello Folks,
Anyone have experience with house breaking an older puppy. I am thinking of buying a 16 week old puppy from a very reputable show breeder. She was going to keep him to show but now decided to sell him. He is now 16 weeks old and due to logistical travel issues with the puppy nanny...
