Abuse of Antibiotics for Urinary Tract Disease

The Expert Vet (06-26-2017) #5070: Are you “abusing” antibiotics? After this show you may know more than your vet about over-use and mis-use of antibiotics for urinary tract disease. Bacteria seen in the yearly urine culture does NOT require treatment! Use a non-confrontational approach to questioning or addressing your vet’s treatment choice and suggest that s/he look at the International Society of Companion Animal Infectious Disease site for the most up-to-date information.
