Hi,
I adopted a 12 yr old Staffy 4 months ago. She hadn't been spayed, and
so on the advice of my vet it was done on Friday. She's come through it

fine and is already starting to revert to her usual gung ho antics.
My concern is that this morning (Sunday) she has been in the garden at
least 5 times for a wee and doesn't appear to do anything, inspite of
squatting for about 30 seconds.
I'm concerned she might be getting a urinary infection. Is there
anything i should be doing to to ease the condition until i can speak
to my vet tomorrow?
She doesn't appear to be in any discomfort and is not licking herself,
but as she is still a little subdued and moving tentatively from tyhe
operation its a bit hard to tell.

Thanks for that... have had a look online and it doesn't seem to be
sold in uk pharmacies. Is it ok to give human remedies to her then?? I
use Waterfall D-Manosse (natural sugarbased remedy) for my own urinary
infections. So i guess i could try her with that. It doesn't have the
high sodium content of the OTC sachets.

As an interim to the vets, go to your local 24 hour pharmacy and ask for
Cystex. It's OTC.It's a urinary antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-
pyretic.. it will help with relief until the vet remedies the problem
