Welcome to Connect @caflynnr1. I am sorry that I don't have a good solution for your high bacterial count in your urine. As a veterinarian, we run into high bacterial counts in cats and dogs. As in your case, if the urine microscopic exam and culture do not indicate infection, and there are no symptoms, then no treatment is done. Perhaps a discussion with your doctor about a urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin might be helpful? There are a lot of different herbal supplements that are thought to focus on bladder health besides cranberry juice and perhaps further research is indicated. Then a discussion with your oncologist or urologist about safe use during BCG treatment.

Thanks for responding Sue. I have searched exhaustingly about this issue and asked my Nurse at the Urologist's office, and they have no suggestions. I am finding this office to not be very helpful in most regards sadly. Once my treatments are done I will be seeking another Urologist, this lack of information is ridiculous!
