Help! Urinary Tract Infection

My 2 year old Shih-Tzu has a Urinary Tract Infection. She has been given Antibotics 2 times for 10 days each, without any apparent effect. We changed Vets and she is currently on her third round of Antibotics, This Vet said she should take them for at least 3 weeks. Also she does not seem to be drinking enough water. What I am wondering is, does anyone know of a natural remedy for this? Maybe Herbs or Cranberry Juice? Thanks for any help, Mike.

Mitsi had one for a while too. We had her on antibiotics and also changed her diet for a bit. Ask your vet to recmmend a different food. After a few weeks we changed back to her regular food and so far the problem hasn't come back.

Hello Mike, I hope your Tzu is okay now. I have a Tzu who developed a recurring urinary tract infection and we went through the same thing. Her second round of antibiotics she went 21 days. Also the vet suggested bottled water...she hasn't had one since.
