Ardella update

I just talked to the veterinarian and 2 species of bacteria grew from the culture. He said that Ardella had symptoms suspicious for a UTI when she came in on Thursday - she didn't want to drink water that day and did not want to give a sample; however, when she did give a urine sample, the urine was dilute. He said it smelled funny so they cultured and bacteria grew.

She will be on antibiotics for at least 2 weeks and we're hoping that she will be back to normal and everything will be fine. We're going to do multiple urine cultures to make sure the bacteria is gone for awhile, too.

I'm so tentatively relieved!
