Dog with blood in urine Oestaira

That's how my little Babs started out. Only showing protein and blood in urine and frequent urination. Blood tests showed everything was OK there. Little did we know she had staph infection until the second time and it was 10 times worse. And now we are on our 3rd episode, we too thought there could be stones. My Vet put her in a light sleep to take xrays, (an xray is the only way to be sure there are no stones, and they have to lay perfectly still.) Urine cultures in my area are $28.00. All they need is a fresh urine sample. My Vet took my dog outside with a little bowl on a stick and caught some urine. If your dog has staph and it is not treated correctly he/she will end up like my dog, resistant to 75% of the drugs. I pray one of the 25% that's left will kill the staph before we have exhausted them all.
P S. This bladder problem of my precious little Babs has cost me over $600.00 so far and we are still fighting it.
