My 6 mo. female GSP is having some urination problems. Last week, she urinated in the house 4 times (very unusual) and then 2 out of the last 3 evenings while laying around before bed, she has had urine dripping out like a leaky water faucet. First time was on the couch and 2nd time was on her bed. She doesn't even notice it happening. She still sleeps all night and everything seems to be staying dry although she does seem to be waking up earlier than normal. I took a urine sample to the vet yesterday and the only thing showing was a slightly elevated white blood cell count. We are going to try a round of antibiotics first to see if that helps. What do y'all think?

Sounds good thing if the antibiotic is for the right bacteria.  Culture and Sensitivity of the urine will let you know if the antibiotic is covering all the bacterial in the urine. Best wishes!!
