[Gpdd] [Health] Doris and repeating UTI

[Evelyn Baker]

Phoebe had repeated bladder infections most of her life. I tried  
everything but the cause was probably high blood sugar. One vet  
thought she might be diabetic. I cut back on her fruits, carrots, and  
corn. All of which are high in sugar. I didn't completely remove them  
from her diet but gave her very small portions of the carrots rather  
than dropping in a big chunk. I'd give her a medallion size slice,  
half a strawberry. Only the husk of the corn and the silk which is  
good for the bladder. She never got another bladder infection. I did  
giver her cranberries when they were in season and blueberries are  
also good for bladder health but of course in moderation.

We had the same problem with Baytril. What we did do is water it  
down. I would giver her yoghurt about a half hour after and would  
measure out the baytril in a syringe and then fill the rest of the  
syringe with water and a bit of juice to hide the flavour of the  
baytril. That helped. But mostly we avoided the baytril.
