A urinalysis showed Feeby had bacteria in her urine. So, we followed up with a urine culture. The culture indicated a lactobacillus species bacteria, but the culture for sensitivity was stopped short due to the Antech lab saying this was a non-pathogenic bacteria and there was no need to pursue. She has never had this specific bacteria show up in a urine culture before.
I have looked up this bacteria and found conflicting information - while all data agree it is common for it be in the digestive tract, the information diverges on whether it should be found in the urogenital tract - some say it is fine, others say it is indicative of an infection. I have asked for a further explanation from the vet, but I believe he is unavailable to speak with me due to a serious illness or family matter.
Anyone else have this bacteria show up, and if you did, what was the outcome/resolution? Thanks.
