I called the vet today. They have no available appts but I go in at 2 pm and wait until they can fit me in somewhere. So I could be there for an hour or so, but has anyone's dog or puppy had a UTI? What were their symptoms?
Answers:
Yup my female puppy just had one.
Her symptoms were: frequent peeing, frequent squating but no peeing/or just a few drops, excessive water intake, and she had a bit of mucas that would come out with urine.
I to was told to walk in and see if they could get me in, try to get a sample beforehand -easier said than done- lol. Or they will try to get one once you get there, they MAY have to take a sample with a needle/syringe thing. Atleast that is what they said to me...luckily the doc didn't want to put my girl through that and they just prescribed me the anti biotics since I knew the symptoms, so good for you for educating yourself before you go!
Good luck, hope your pup gets better soon!
It's more common in females, but males can get them too. The symptoms are the dog is urinating frequently and urgently and may have accidents in the house (because they can't hold it). There is usually some blood in the urine.
Antibiotics will be needed. You'll probably see a great improvement after just the second dosage, but you'll need to give your dog the entire prescription so the infection doesn't return.
Yes give it cranberry tablets this should clear up the problem.

Frequent urinating, and squatting to pee and producing nothing at all, maybe a slight discharge after peeing.
YES! it's a huge pain. i would get home from work, let the dogs out of the kennel, one would walk up, pee on my leg and go back in his kennel.. I thought it was the dog from hell... this lasted a few months, i couldn't figure out why he would randomly pee on things.. Treated the dog like gold, didn't scold him... didn't get it.. went to the vet, UTI, took a prescription, problem solved, dog was much happier, and so was i.
Here's somethin I found.
Symptoms may include:
Blood in your pet's urine.
Your pet cries or strains when urinating.
Your pet's urine has a bad odor.
Your pet urinates more frequently or is having accidents in the house.
Possible fever
Much the same as having one yourself. Constantly wanting to pass small amounts of urine. Pain or discomfort on passing urine. Blood in urine. Dog passing urine in the house, when normally a clean dog. Dog may also act "depressed". The vet should take a blood sample to make sure that it is *only* a UTI....as a UTI can be a symptom of kidney disease. The blood results will show what's up..protein, etc., etc.
Hope all turns out well for your dog.
I don't have a dog, at this time, but I have a cat that had UTI...Now, she has to eat a special food to keep it under control.She had started peeing outside the litter box at very inopportune times.She couldn't help it.thank goodness there are products on the market to clean these dreadful unpleasant smelling occurrences.She is better now.Trust your vet...Good luck with your little critter.
redness and peeing alot not able to hardly to controle there bladder.
i think so, but we were also training her at the time. she was doing well in her training, then started not being able to hold it, and would not make it outside. they give antibiotics and took a sample. take a sample with you (its hard to get, but we got it a little at a time with a frisbee). they charge a lot to take a sample.
