Has the vet ever done a culture and sensitivity? *If not, that should be
done, pronto. *What other urinalysis has been done - pH, specific gravity,
etc.? *What are Hannah's symptoms (urge? anything else?).

Drinking a lot/peeing a lot (PU/PD) is a symptom of a lot of things, as is
weight gain - Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Insipidus, Cushing's Disease, etc.
I would talk to the vet about urinalysis of a fresh catch (first thing in
the morning) and fasting blood work. *IF you haven't done geriatric
bloodwork on Hannah before, now might be a good time to get started.

i hate the term geriatric bloodwork... I like to say "she's ONLY
seven"
I got her at 9 weeks... a tiny 10 pound abused puppy...

she has URGE... it's hard to get her to come in she only wants to pee
she's had a few accidents in the house (the first time she had the
infection)
her appetite is good. bless her chubby heart...

hmmm I finally found a food that Harley can tolerate and maybe that's
what's giving her the infections...

deep sigh raising dogs is so hard.
