| Has anyone ever used this antibiotic before? I have to give it to my dog 3x a day because she has bacteria in her pee and a UTI. $167 for two weeks. |

Should be able to get the generic for somewhat less. It's Augmentin which is simply Amoxil and another ingredient. Tell the vet you flat can't afford it and see if they can write something else. It's not the only drug to treat a UTI.

The word you are looking for is Augmentin. It is amoxicillin with potassium clavulanate which strengthens the drug from penicillinase from the bacteria. A very fine drug. Good to know. Thanks for the corrections. Either way, I hope she does not have adverse reactions to it

I have a male cat that went through the antibotic deal from the vet and it worked . It did come back in two weeks and his urine looked like blood, it scraed the crap out of us.I went on line and found a homopathic compound that knocked it out in two weeks and they love the taste just sprinkle a pinch on their food a couple of times a day.I also found that if I fed him canfood with some water added it helped with more urine output this also helps. We took him to the vet when he got better and the vet was very interested in the product because antibiotics don't always work and it can be fatal to cats .
The product UTI-Free Web add: PetAlive.com I ordered three 20g bottles It treated him for two months with a bottle for next time  We have four cats
Hope this helps BobP |
