Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Hi there!  I am new here but saw this discussion and just had to join in.  I am "mommy" to Beastie, a 1 1/2 year old, 135 pound, half black lab/half english mastiff.  She just recently finished antibiotics for her first UTI.  I was told that Beastie was also inverted and that along with the antibiotics I would need to wipe her with baby wipes a couple of times a day.  My vet's biggest concern was that since she is inverted that it is even more important for Beastie to empty her bladder completely every time she goes (of course, easier said that done...hasn't the vet noticed that there are birds and squirrels around that need to be chased mid pee ?) since apparently when they don't empty completely bacteria forms it can cause a problem with the big dogs and there inverted lady parts.  Who would have known??  I would make sure to take a urine sample to the vet though.  Would not be good for the new pup to be on meds when she doesn't have an infection.
