Milwaukee - I'm sorry to hear about the problems with your young pup.
Have you contacted your breeder to find out if any of the other pups are ill?
Do you have a health guarantee? Perhaps she'll consider helping with some of the expense. Was this pup vaccinated recently?
Please check the recent posts for more info on bladder infections. It's VERY important that the proper testing is done to determine WHAT BACTERIA is causing the infection. Frontierrotts was right on with telling you to have a culture done. One way to insure a sterile sample is to have them draw the urine directly from the bladder. This is called cystocentesis. This process
will allow the lab to grow the bacteria and i.d. it, so the proper antibiotic can be prescribed. The pup may be on the rx for 2-3 wks or longer. Ideally another c&s should be done about midway through the rx to insure that the
infection is clearing. This can be costly, but proper testing is important.

Once you get this pup well, I'd like to suggest your consideration of some probiotics.
Has the pup been on Albon for the coccidia? The drawback of the Albon and an antibiotic being administered for the bladder infection, is that they deplete the beneficial bacteria in the gut. This sets up a breeding ground for other pathogens. Probiotics restore the good bacteria and help to prevent bad bacteria from taking hold. Talk to your vet, or do your own research. Be sure to give us an update to let us know how she heals up.
Best wishes -
