Unfortunately, it could be that Olive has bladder stones again or a UTI. Certain dogs can be prone to bladder stones, and experience them multiple times. I would take her back into the vet first thing in the morning for an exam. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, and a urinalysis to see if she has bladder stones again or a UTI, and can treat accordingly.
