I have had my mini -Cognac- now for 8 weeks and he is now almost 5 months old. He is extremely bright and has had only had one poop accident in the house. However, he has had significant problems with housebreaking for urine and has urinated many times in the home, despite being taken out even 1-2 hours. About 5 weeks ago, I told the vet, whom I do not know well as this is a new clinic I am taking him to, that he must have something going on, maybe a UTI and could she please check. He, indeed, had a severe UTI and was begun on a broad spectrum antibiotic for 10 days. I brought him back for a recheck 2 weeks later and we decided to culture his urine as he still had a moderately severe UTI, but she gave me Amoxicillin to give him until we heard back from the folks who culture urine. IT came back 5 days late with staph resistant to either of the first 2 antibiotics. He is now on his 3rd antibiotic-Doxicillin - which is supposed to take care of this. However, she mentioned that it is very unusual to have a male puppy with a UTI. This has made me fearful that he may have kidney problems. I am wondering, now, if I should get an ultrasound on his kidneys and if she should have done any of this differently.
