Thank you, Dr. Williams, for your suggestions regarding Espie. I read them to my vet on the phone today and he agreed; he checked her urine twice on Tuesday but found no bacteria or blood cells. So we decided to check her again a few days after she finishes her antibiotics (which will be tomorrow). As soon as he finds something, we'll attempt to do a urine culture as you recommended.
