Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) In Dogs

vet clinic Greater Cincinnati

Dogs, just like other animals and people, can also get urinary tract infections, or UTIs.  This is a common occurrence on dogs at any age, with any breed, whether male or female.  Be on the lookout for symptoms that your pet dog has a UTI.  Signs and symptoms may include passing minute urine amounts, leaking urine, not being able to urinate, consuming more water than usual, fever, increased urination frequency, and blood-laced urine.  Contact your veterinarian immediately if you see any of the symptoms mentioned.  Your veterinarian will want to examine your pet in the clinic so that tests like urinalysis can be done.  This urine test will help in determining if an infection is present and if so, the UTI type as well.  This will aid your veterinarian in prescribing the most appropriate treatment.  Urinary tract infections tend to cause pain so your vet clinic Greater Cincinnati may also include pain management medication along with the antibiotic.
