Hi Karen,
The thing that I am unsure of is, when they genuinely have a UTI they have blood in their urine right? Georgie didn't have any blood in her urine, but she was bleeding from the same area. Did anyone else experience this? If I could know for a fact that all UTI's have to have blood in the urine, obviously that's not what she has. I would from there definitly go ahead with the ultrasound. I have heard of the V-BTA test. I actually called the vet and asked if she had that done while there and they didn't even know what that test was... She has two small lumps on here chest and the vet checked those and said they should be fine, but to keep an eye on them and if they seem to grow larger or irregular then they would need some more looking into. It worries me that these lumps might actually be stemmed from a larger problem like TCC. Otherwise, right now she is in perfect health and acting like her normal self. If she was to have another bout with the "UTI" how long would you guess until she would start with those symptoms again? Thanks for all your help. It's really great to talk with people who obviously care just as deeply for their friends as I do.
