corgi health

My pembroke welsh corgi and I were anxiously waiting for a call from the vet today. Wasabi went to the vet to check on her allergies and her lower urinary tract infection and her ph level was still too high. The vet was worried and decided to send Wasabi's urine to the lab. Well, we got a call today saying Wasabi doesn't have crystals! Which means she doesn't have stones either! We changed her diet to the food the Vet recommened (Hill's prescription diet c/d canine), which should lower her ph level. We're all relieved to know Wasabi isn't in pain! Welsh corgis frequently get UTI so if your pet shows any signs of these signs, take your pet to the vet!

Symptoms of UTI

•Straining to urinate
•Obvious pain or discomfort when urinating
•Constantly licking their genitals

Wasabi won't be able to go on her normal adventures until she's completely healthy again. So for about 2 weeks, I'll be making mini comics of Wasabi instead of her normal long~ adventures with her friends.

I took my corgi to the vet for allergy medication today, but found out she has a lower urinary tract infection. I'm glad my vet told me, or I would have not known.

A lower urinary tract infection is common in female dogs and it's caused by bacteria in the bladder or urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body). If left untreated, it can cause stones to build up in the bladder or make the bacteria spread to the kidneys and other organs!
