Now Betty Lou threw up! The pills cause that! I will not give her another. Call the vet in the morning! Fml!
Steph, tell the vet you want the long term anti biotic shot! Yes there is such a thing, I have done it and it is great, PErfect for the hard to medicate. A bit more money but oh so worth it!!

Per usual the jingles worked!

So true! I don't get many chances with Betty Lou! She will be getting a long acting shot and a liquid. Need to fight the two different potential types of infection.

I am waiting for the vet to call!

So Betty Lou is back home! Perky enough to stand on my head to look out the window! Oral liquid antibiotics. Still no clue what is wrong!

What have they done for bloodwork? It's all normal? Any xrays? Is she spayed?

Just CBC Betty is only 5. All tests normal. No X-rays. No trauma. She is spayed. For now she is getting antibiotics. She is feeling better. Hope that continues.
