Hello, I’m desperate for answers and opinions on what my 1.5 year old frenchie Harley might be dealing with.
tl:dr: Spayed frenchie leaves little urine spots on everything she sits on, vet thought she had a UTI and gave her antibiotics, but she still has the issue and vet wants to put her on Proin.
She was spayed a year ago (at a little more than six months old) and while potty training took a long time to “master”, she has developed this little issue that has been going on for about the last six months.
She spots. Her little vulva is like an eye dropper that leaves a small urine smelling spot on everything she sits on. She doesn’t ever pee on things, she just leaves little spots everywhere that grow bigger the longer she sits there. I’ve had to start putting a diaper on her at night so she doesn’t spot on the bed.
We’ve been to the vet a couple times. About three weeks ago she had a urine extraction done and they said she had a UTI. We gave her Clavamox for 2 weeks and then did the test again and they said she just has the regular bacteria. This time the vet said he wants to try her on Proin to see how she responds to it. I've seen a lot of success stories with Proin, but I've also seen several horror stories about side effects like blindness, seizures, restlessness, breathing issues, etc... I can't seem to find any information on Frenchies taking Proin so I don't want to start it without finding something. I've been trying Leaks No More for about a week, but it's not working.
She doesn’t have any other signs of illness (no fever, normal thirst and appetite, she doesn’t pee in the house or struggle to pee outside...no blood or allergy symptoms) she just... spots. We’ve been calling it a “sploot.”
She’s such a great dog, mostly well behaved, smart, and easy to train. I just want to make sure I’m doing the right things for her. Her diet consists of Nutrisource Pure Vita grain-free kibble and she gets a few other grain free treats when doing training.
Thanks for reading this far! Any thoughts?
