Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Female | spayed
My dog Diva was diagnosed with urinary infection after her pyometra surgery. She's taking antibiotics, but she doesn't seem to be improving. She pees on herself or tries to pee but can't. She also shows pain when trying to pee. Could it be something involved with kidney stones? We left on a family vacation for two days, and a close friend stayed to care for her. When we got back, she said Diva peed normally and was no problem. However, the same day she kept doing everything I mentioned above.

Poor Diva! Given the persistence of her symptoms I would recommend that Diva be rechecked by your veterinarian. They will likely recheck her urine and may recommend a urine culture if her infection has not improved. She may need different antibiotics or may have another problem exacerbating her symptoms
