The way cranberry juice works, is that it sets up an acid environment, and the bacteria have a harder time latching on to the walls of the bladder, allowing the bacteria to multiply and grow. Drinking cranberry juice and copious amounts of water can sometimes nip an infection in the bud. It does not kill the bacteria though, and is used by many, to prevent reoccurring infections or in conjunction with antibiotics. Since you can't make a dog drink an extreme amount of water, I'm doubtful that the cranberry juice alone would work. |
