Has anyone ever gone thru this.....

First, two week ago, we took her to vet # 1 who i've had not so good opinions of (can't find a good vet in the area!!!). We took her in for a puppy wellness check and her 2nd parvo shot.
I discussed with the vet that i found her to urinate excessively and almost immediately after drinking water. His response was " she's a puppy " and blew it off. her stool sample came back negative, a quick check and off we go.

Over the next two weeks.................................... still peeing alot. We take up her water at 8pm so that she doesnt howl during the night to go out. The potty/housebreaking training is slow since we both work out of the hosue.

With alot of searching and inquiring, we found a new vet and went to him on Saturday. Parvo shot # 3, introductions, took Porsha along with us too. Had a sample of urine to give him and told him of the frequencies and the excessive thirst. Her urine came up with abnormal #'s, there was puss in it and her PH level was high along with something else that i don't remember offhand. He confirmed a UTI. He also took a blood sample. He was concerned about a liver shunt which explains the excessive thirst.

Yesterday we spoke with him after part of the results came in. She is confirmed with having crystals in her urine. He also indicates that she is anemic and most likely from internal parasites. Her breeder said she was dewormed. We live in the Northeast and there are no active fleas.

The cultures are all due in by the end of the week. He will be able to determine the problem further and whether the urine problem is genetic.

I also have contacted the breeder since we are within close proximity to our 14 day window (which expired).

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of this.

My puppy is 10.5 weeks old
