Re: [pyrnet] UTI?

Hello Matt

I'd bite the bullet and spend the dollars you might otherwise spend on
carpet cleaning. These UTIs do not go away of their own accord and will
cause Lola considerable discomfort. We have had good results with
antibiotics. Shelby has had a number of incidents of UTI over her long life.
The antibiotic may put her off her food for a bit, but if you follow
instructions and administer the full course she will rebound rapidly.
