Basically, we do not have to worry about the floppy tail, she has most likely just bashed it or strained it because she has been wagging it too much! It will recover on it's own and hopefully she will have her wag and her swag back soon!
The vet wanted to be certain that she has a UTI before she is put on anti-biotics, rather than putting her on them 'just in case'. She'd like to keep her off any medication where possible because of the strain her kidneys are already under with the Leish and Alupurinol. So, she took a blood test to check her kidneys are functioning properly, and a urine sample to make sure that it is a UTI. Another possibility, and it's looking more likely at the minute, is that she has a leaking Urinary Sphincter, caused by early neutering. This can be treated with Propalin syrup every day, but never fully cured :(
She was such a good girl in the car and at the vets though so she had a treat of raw chicken wings today, to cheer her up!!!
I just feel a bit over whelmed, I am worried about her poor body with having all this
life-long daily medication before she is even 2 years old. I just want to make
her happy and healthy!
