Brief Answer:
a urinary tract infection probably
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
it sounds like a urinary tract infection. You should do a urinalysis for confirmation (or exclusion) of this diagnosis. If positive then antibiotic treatment would be required. Cranberries can only help for prevention. They are not effective for treatment of urinary tract infections.
Lasix cannot be blamed for the symptom. If the urinalysis is negative then an ultrasound scan of the urinary tract would be helpful.
Kind Regards!
