Samantha update

Thank you dear friends for all your warm wishes and concern to Samantha. I have not heard back from the vet yet because they had to send the sample out for testing(it was Friday morning when I sent in the sample). So hopefully today I'll hear something back. Samantha seems to be doing fine, not peeing a lot anymore(since Saturday). I'm sure it was UTI but I have never seen blood in their urine before, that's why I decided to send some samples to the vet, just to be safe.
I think the yogurt and Apple Cider Vinegar really helps. I have read that giving ACV daily to dogs and cats can really help with alleviating allergies, arthritis, establishing correct pH balance.
I will update when I hear back from the vet. Thank you.

We've given ACV to our horses too! It helps relieve abcesses in the hoof, soreness, and can help a finicky eater finish dinner!

We are keeping our fingers crossed for the very best of news!

I'm so glad she's feeling better.
Speedbump had a UTI one time and I couldn't find anything but JP's really nice liquid measuring cup to catch it with!!! He took it really well since I promised to buy a new one ASAP.
Keep us posted.

Here's hoping all's well. Probably a UTI. Max was sicky-poo yesterday, but after a pepcid and a prilosec and about 10 hours he seemed to snap out of it.

That's very interesting about the ACV! Maybe mom should try giving me some of that. When I was young I kept having bladder infections and the vet said it was because my PH level was too high. Now I eat prescription food and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Keeping my paws crossed for Samantha!

Love,
Mochi

Still hoping it's all good! And I did a little research on ACV some time ago and was surprised at all the healing qualities it has for humans. I never thought about it for canines!

We have heard that ACV is very good to add to the water, but when Mom does it here, we won't drink it:( Paws still crossed for Samantha, glad to hear she is doing a bit better. She may also have crystals or stones and the blood may have come from her having passed one.
