Default Resistant E Coli in Cat: Please Help

I can find out from my vet on Tuesday when she's back from a trip---I'll
post what she tells me. They're unusual---they needed to run an "extended
panel" at Cornell University's lab to find some meds that might kill the
bacteria.


I'll check back then.

In your research you may come across discussions of the use of cranberry
juice for it's properties in reducing e coli adherence to the bladder wall.
I would not recommend this because in people it increases oxalate levels in
the urine and may acidify the urine thereby potentially encouraging the
growth of oxalate stones.

Do you know which antibiotics the bacteria is susceptible?
