Based on Coco's follow-up urinalysis results and the fact that she is doing well at home, you recommend continuing treatment for another two weeks and performing a recheck urinalysis and culture five to seven days after antibiotic therapy.
At Coco's next visit, the owners report that she is no longer asking to go out all the time, she has had no accidents in the house, and she finished all of her antibiotics five days ago.
Here are her follow-up test results:
