Giving her an antibiotic without knowing if it if the right kind for the condition she has is what creates resistant bacteria, and, if her problem is urinary crystals or stones, it will be ineffective. It will also masl symptoms from your vet if it worsens and she needs to be seen urgently. I suggest making an appointment with your vet for an exam and urinalysis as soon as possible.
