Cassie has been back to the vets to see how she is doing battling the urine infections. This is what the vet has said
Her, urine, pulled straight from the bladder: pH was good, still some blood and reactive cells but no sign of bacteria. Concentration was fine but he would expect it to be slightly better given her urinary diet. On the good side no lumps, no stones but vet said the bladder was quite thick walled though, and ‘ragged’. He also said it looked small but when she first arrived I think she didn’t know she could go out in the evening and her morning pees where biblical. He suspects it’s a deep seated bacterial infection, both bacteria they found on the tests respond to this antibiotic, so we’re upping the dose and giving it another week. The urine in the bladder itself did light up a bit under the scan.
So another week of antibiotics for the little lady.
All in all she’s doing well, although she is now off the pain killer for her mobility as this was causing issues with her stomach. We have ordered her some YouMove and some Salmon Oil to see if that will help her. As both of these are fairly pricey we didn’t feel it was fair asking for these ona wishlist. However if you would like to donate towards the cost of these, please do. Cassie didn’t have a wishlist when she arrived.
Thank you as always for your support, hopefully this last round of antibiotics will do what they need to do.

Cassie is proving to be a very good foster sister. Her BRNGB resident sister was a the vets for a while this week and she happily kept her BRNGB resident brother company when her foster dad was out.
She is getting on well with the resident hounds, although she acts like they are in her house not the otherway around!
Cassie is battling a UTI at the moment and is on a second round of antibiotcs.
Cassie even had her own press release the other day! Such a clever girl.
“I would like to thank all my adoring fans for their support and gifts over the last week. It’s been a confusing and sad week without my mum for the first time in over a decade and I miss her terribly. But this place isn’t too bad and I’m starting to look forward to each day and the smells it contains.
The hounds here are fine, the old boy is very respectful, but so slow! honestly! and they had the audacity to call me slow! I have a graceful trot and a beautiful run I’ll have you know! The young girl is just madly in love with the hooman. A bit jealous frankly, but it’s been fine as I needed a little alone time this week to process everything.
The temporary hooman is acceptable. He doesn’t seem all that bright but you can see his heart is in the right place. I do feel sorry for the two that live with him though, he is pretty slow on the uptake. He does have an acceptable range of treats but he could be a bit more generous. Anyone would think I was on a diet! Ridiculous of course as I’m perfect in every way. Beside which, I’ve already lost weight! all the stress of the move, you know how it is, you just don’t have the time to eat sometimes, all that organising. But I’ll get him fully trained before I leave. He does provide an acceptable manicure which I graciously accepted without too much protest.
The local gang have accepted me as one of their own, they were a little star struck at first but they soon came round, everyone has been very kind and some have done a really impressive job of training their hoomans, treats on command! Just my luck to get stuck with this lump.
Thanks again to my lovely fans, hound and hooman,
It’s been a trying week but rest assured your Cassie Basset, and my new duckie, will be on top of the world soon enough
