We are fostering a 1 1/2-year-old dog named Ruby who was scratching a lot. The vet prescribed small blue pills and antibiotics. The scratching has stopped, but she has started wetting her bed and urinating on other beds. Could this be related to a urinary tract/bladder infection from the antibiotics, stress, or something else? Additionally, the previous owner mentioned Ruby has been re-homed 11 times, and the vet gave us a large box of antibiotics without a stop date.
