Dr. has experience but also makes mistakes. My dog had a blocked anal gland (inflammation), so of course she had to take antibiotics. Dr. She squeezed her anal gland from the outside, as is done, it was already inflamed, not much happened (my dog never empties much). The doctor wanted to squeeze more and pressed it from the inside with her finger. After 1 week of antibiotics, the dog developed a very severe urinary tract infection with blood. A urine test was done on site, but the doctor did not want to prescribe an antibiotic straight away because she needed to know exactly which bacteria, etc. The urine was sent to the lab, which of course took a while until she received an antibiotic. During the visit, another doctor said that the UTI could have been caused by licking, which of course is not true. I waited that long and got the same antibiotic. The cost of the visit was also surprising, just the visit itself - €40, the urine test on site - €40 - which of course is not okay because the urine was also sent to the lab, so the cost is double for the same thing. Getting an antibiotic instead of a prescription is a good idea. The lab itself costs about €85. My dog has had the same infection; she's 16 and has never had a UTI in her life. Later, she also had major problems with her stool—hard stools. I came up with the idea of buying her a good probiotic and giving her an antibiotic after so many days. Printing out an anal gland also costs a lot more, €30; with others, it's €20. I'll find another doctor.
