A UTI stands for a urinary tract infection and it’s a common infection in dogs of all sizes including large dogs. There are some general signs that your dog may have a UTI. Those include the inability to urinate or passing small amounts at a time, blood in the urine, leaking of urine, frequent urination, increased water consumption, and fever. If you’ve ever experienced a UTI yourself then you may see that the symptoms are closely alike. Please call your vet if your dog has any of these symptoms. Your vet may run blood work and a urinary analysis to find out if a UTI is present. A urinary sample may be sent out to detect the specific type of infection, however, this is up to the vet’s discernment. Treatments for a UTI may include antibiotics, diet change, and even surgery in extreme cases. Consult with your vet clinic Murrieta, CA for more details.
