NO CUSHINGS FOR BUTTERSCOTCH!!!!!! The vet called today and said her bloodwork was nearly perfect with regard to that. So since she has also had scans that ruled out tumors, etc., her problem is likely a bad UTI that we have never quite gotten cleared up. She seems to be responding well to the sulfa drug, and seems to be feeling perkier.
We arrived last night in Indiana, driving 1500 from the RGV. We are here for a family funeral and on Sunday will start the grueling (and I do mean grueling) drive back. Airfare for "on the spur of the moment" purchase was cost prohibitive, plus we would have had to board the dogs. So we decided to take our girls with us since Butterscotch was having issues.
They travel so well, sleeping mostly, don't complain about stopping for potty breaks, but they really don't like getting back in the car! They really are the best girlies.
Thanks for caring everyone and for your responses and insights.

It would be good if I could take her to our vet back home. I don't know that he's lot better than any others, but he's been our vet for over 30 years, is a friend, and I trust him totally.
I picked her up at 5:00 this evening. When we took her out, I took her to some grass and she peed a lot and it was ALL pink. I went back inside and asked if the stuff they injected could cause that. The vet said that she was "holding it" and so it should clear up in a day or so. So I'm guessing that means that no one took this poor little girl out to potty while they had her all day. And we know she has an active infection. Hmmmmmmmm
WE have to drive from Texas to Indiana, leaving Saturday, to attend a family funeral. We are taking the girls with us because we didn't want to stress Butterscotch out with boarding her. Call them spoiled, cause that's what they are. ๐
She has been on amoxicillin and a penicillin drug and two others. The current one is a sulfa drug. I just want her to be better.
I appreciate all your posts. Scotties are prone to Cushings and bladder cancers. I will take Cushings over the other. There are quite a few in the Scottie Cushings group I found that have success stories, so I am going for that.Dale
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
