LOL on the laundry Sandy, No I do not think it could be a UTI because he still is on anti- biotics but I will run out on Friday.
I do plan on calling the vet in the morning. I will make sure to keep an eye out in case your right. He actually looks great even his skin looks better today.

However the choices are never easy. I ch...
