Thank you so much...We are doing sadly bit worse today..yesterday evening she was great.
She s on second day of AB+added water+vit C+probiotic(few hours after ab, so it wont lessen effect.
Anyway, as far as i know usually BActrim or BAytril are prescribed for UTI(one experienced exotic vet once said usually other things dont work anyway for UTI, except if culture was done, but even than there aint too much aB for uti available).we still got MArbocyl from exotic vet that we couldnt get yesterday, but we worked with him a lot..so we took MArbocyl we have enough for about 14 days.,..
I really hope she can pull through..
Dog vet said Bactrim wont do nothing maybe for coccus but not for other bacteria she saw..so..Marbocyl was only thing left.
I am at job and i only pray she ll be okay when i come home in 2h..i have to work..i did ta ke a lot off cause of Winnie, but we aint got money if i dont work, so..i need a job..
We ordered last part of fleeces today we have enough now..i mean we will have soon..its quality but it cost a lot.
We will order shilintong today also..it will arive in 14 days-but we need it anyway.

Thank you so much both again..it means a lot to us..

I think you’re doing the right things. If you have two vets each recommending Marbocyl as the best choice that’s what I would do. I hope you see some improvement. The medication might be making her feel worse for now, but hopefully it will start to help.

thank you so much for your input.
We will bring sample to dog clinic next week and see if its the same or better..
We re also adding water so..cause with Irie additional drinking helped him even more than ab..and shilintong..but he was really old despite he was still on full on speed-well, he always was.. and he had more calcium in urine..
Winnie had wierder issues-she doesnt have any visable calcium in urine..just smell and very wierd colouring-brown..orange /red..red.i know some of it can be normal, but in her case it s obvious blood is present.
We will report results.
I hope its just an infection..otherwise we would need additional diagnostic with somepne for exotics,...we would like to go to vet we worked with already, but he has other job and its bussy..so when he doesnt reach back i never know did i say something wrong or something and i dont know..hope we wont have to go to someone else-but most important is to work things out. Doesnt matter how or with who.
And i am sorry we had to contact him quite a lot, but we had a lot of issues and it was heavy and while solving them and i even felt bit of sorry for myself and all that.., but than you need put pig up and lift yourself up..and all that..and some help, yeah,..
sometimes with Win and Zig we listen to this its bit of british rock vibe and like lets do this, we can do this, hahaha..:)

Most importantly: she seem better, urine not yet-so lets hope we will have good results next week..

Fingers crossed for good results next week! I truly hope you start to see some improvement, and hopefully it's just a UTI that can be easily treated and resolved.

Thank you !
Urine was light yellow yesterday evening..will report the results ..
If she needs additional check out that would be x ray and ultrasound,right?? (;for urinary problems).
We will order urine sticks i had for Ringo and Irie which measures creatinine in urine as well

Urine results after 8 days of additional water, benebac, vit c and marbocyl: almost clear just bit of coccud.
Sometimes we still saw bit of reddish stuff but rarely.
Thank you for support..we re happy but exausted;)
One more week of all the stuff and it should be alright dog vet declared..and hopefully than we dont have to contact our exotic vet.

Marbocyl did not clear up infection and results are same as previous week. Some blood and middle level of coccus.
Vet said that since no more improvement we can took her off ab. And we did. She feeling good, urine looks more cpear and doesnt smell. We will took one week off than we will try shilintong. We can bring sample on dog clinic wjenever we want anyway and we willml.We finally will switch to fleece. Izs hard cause we cant completely immidiatly sopve everything. But i am glad she s all active and happy and we re endlessly motivated to improve her health issues. Thank you all for your support and we have thoose fleece liners we will start using.. do we need to put anything under fleece liner or this enough and we just put it in the cage? We have to switch bedding finally and i am bit nervous about it so we appriciate advices.m

As for lung sounds she s been making it bit more lately, but not severe. If it will get worse we have azythromicin at home already. Her legs are bit red but quite alright. We will try manuka honey but dont need right now.

I use fleece pads that I sew myself. I use a washable waterproof pad underneath the whole cage. My fleece pads have either a towel inside, or quilted mattress covers that I cut up and sewed.

I’m glad to hear she’s active and happy. You’re right, sometimes you can’t solve everything at once, but you can make improvements.
