She initially got better then frequent urinating again. She is now on her 3rd round of antibiotic and she poops out a small bit when she pees. She does have quite a bit of liquid when she pees. It seems like having a puppy put such a strain on her. I cant have her fixed until she is over this infection and weans the pup. Has anyone ever had this much difficulty with bladder problems due to whelping? |
I have never bred before but I can say that probiotics will help alot with this and are save for the baby as it is good bacteria so check with vet -- I would do the antibiotic and then 2 hrs after teh antibiotic giver the probiotic as antibiotics can be a vicious cycle as you are killing all the good and bad bacteria so once you stop the antibiotic then the bad bacteria can over rule the system especially when the immune system is down and could be due to having the baby so you need to supplement with the probiotic a good bacteria to help get the immune system balanced again
