I should say the test is called AZO test strips and they sell in a box
of 3 for around $10. Also I'm not usually into herbal cures but
Bearberry, also known as Uva Ursi really works for mild cases. 2
capsules 3 x a day for 4 to 7 days and then stop as this should not be
used for longer than a week and you want to keep urine alkaline rather
than acidic so avoid cranberry, citrus and vitamin C supplements during
treatment

I was wondering if anyone knows of a Home kit that could tell you if
you have a UTI. Since the only feeling I have in that area is pain I
cannot tell if I have an infection. On my last yearly checkup it was
discovered that I did had an infection. I don't want to have to make
an appointment then go take the test but I would like to check every
few months if I have an infection.
Thanks!
And thank you for the info on the dogs! We foster dogs so I will now
make sure I wash EVERY time they come in from the outside.

Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its
troubles;
It empties today of its strengths.

Subject: [TMIC] URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS SPREAD FROM AN UNLIKELY
SOURCE
UTI's ~
A new study has found that you could be exposed to E. coli viruses
in the home that are carried by your pet.
Minneapolis researchers have discovered that it's extremely common
for humans and pets to share the E. coli that causes urinary tract
infections.
So, the next time you give ol' Rover a well-deserved pat on the
head, you would do well to remember that cleanliness is next to
healthiness. As always, the best way to avoid sickness and viruses
of all sorts is to regularly wash your hands. You don't need anti-
bacterial wipes or any other germ fighters – just simple warm soap
and water.
Sure, your dog is part of the family, and of course he's cute and
cuddly – but he's also an animal who's probably rooting about in the
yard and exposing himself to all kinds of things. So it's best to
wash your hands as often as possible whenever you've touched your
pet, and be sure that you keep your house clean as well.
