Default persistent UTI problems

I'm back to the old "who's been pee'ing in my closet".... Both yesterday
and today I found puddles. Havign a cat and a dog - ya gotta try to rule
one or the other out.

I had a rubber backed throw rug on the floor and yesterday it had a huge
puddle on it. The only one in there that I'd notice was the cat. Took
the rug out - the walltowall underneath wasn't touched (the rubber backing
on the throw saved it). I closed the door.

This morning I got up to go to the gym. Went to the closet to get my socks,
closed the door again. (pocket sliding doors, both animals know how to get
in.) returned home and promptly took dog for her morning walk- she poop'd
and pee'd no problem.

Return home, shower, go to get dressed and find closet door open about 4"
(just enough for cat to get in, but not enough for 55lb dog). And a puddle
on the floor. Have my son check the litter pan - (that was cleaned
yesterday am) no pee in it. WONDERFUL.

OK, so this is Sabrina, my BlackKnight, recent tripod. Yes, with the trama
of the surgery and now being off all meds, but still in the healing
process - MAYBE she's got a UTI. So off to the vet again, tomorrow, cat in
tow, dog urine in bottle.

Thing is - both my animals have frequent UTI problems. Both are on special
prescription Science diet dry food diets to help their urinary tracks. (cat
refuses - all out refuses wet food). What can I do?
Both have been on Batryl (sp?) antibiotic so much this past summer I'm
afraid they'll get immune to its effects.

Can someone give me references to this potash thing and the validity of it
relating to UTI? Or what else can I do or what food can I switch to that
will help.

UGH - any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
