Sassy late to the party....health issues - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**sassy's mommy** · 12-27-2012, 10:55 AM

We are a little worried right now about our Sassy girl. Recently she has been having blood on her potty pad when she pees. Last week I took her to see Dr. Bennett. He did a bladder ultrasound, and drew urine. Her urine pH was normal, urine was clean (no blood) and no visible stones showing in the ultrasound. He put her on 2 weeks of antibiotics and said hopefully there is just a slight bacteria that isn't showing up in the urine, but causing the blood. If not, and the antibiotics do not clear up the problem, he suspects a tumor on her urethrea stem.....not good news. Anyway, we are praying for divine healing for my baby.

Lynn and Lacie were very generous secret Santas and I can't thank them enough for being so kind and thoughtful to Sassy. I hate sharing pictures of a dirty girl and Sassy really isn't up to a bath and photo shoot right now. I promise to share photos soon. Please forgive us for being late to the party.

If anyone can find a free minute during these busy holidays, please pray for my Sassy. She is truly my once in a lifetime little heart girl.

Thank you Marj! I can't wait until we can get back up to our NC home. We spent Christmas at home in FL this year. I am missing our NC weather.

Pat, I know you must be so worried about Sassy

. She is such a special girl- I will definitely pray for her healing and I hope the vet has the wisdom and clarity to diagnose and treat her. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do. ::hugs::

Pat, I am sorry that Sassy isn't feeling well. I will keep her in my prayers. Hopefully it's just a bacteria infection and nothin serious.
