Dog Update

It is indeed just a urinary tract infection (UTI). The doc, however, does call it a “hummer” of an infection. She identified over a half-dozen bacteria that cause UTIs in the sample we took over the weekend – a coordinated attack. Left untreated, this UTI would eventually turn fatal. So we’re glad we caught it. UTIs are common for old dogs. The vet assures us that we’ll clear this one up, and Aki will probably do just fine in the warmer weather. Looks like she’s with us for a good while longer!
