I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but this appears to be a urine culture report that suggests that the yeast organism Candida was isolated from your dog's urine sample. This is a pretty rare finding in dogs, as Candida is a more common human urinary tract pathogen. Deciding what to do next will center on whether Avior is truly "clinical" (has symptoms of) a urinary tract infection or not. If he does, an antifungal drug, such as fluconazole, may help to resolve the situation.
