YT 500 Club Member | Male WIth UTI Does anyone know what the symptoms are of a male dog with a UTI. Sammi has been licking a lot lately down there but I am not sure if that is normal for a male dog to do. Also I noticed he is peeing on the couch at night so I think he is peeing in his sleep. It is not ever night but at least once a week. He does not seem to be straining to urinate. He does use his pee pad and I dont see blood on it. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Frequent urination with stops n starts. Straining to urinate. Discolored urine, strong smelling urine, can all be signs that something is wrong. Above is my answer; and here it is from vetinfo.com A dog can get a urinary tract infection if bacteria gets in the urethra or urinary tract. In some cases, the bacterium travels to the bladder and kidneys, resulting in more serious health conditions. If detected early, a urinary tract infection (UTI) can be cleared up with little harm to your pet. Left untreated, this type of infection can damage a dog's urethra, lining of the bladder, as well as harm his immune system. Evaluate your dog to see if he has any signs of a urinary tract infection so that early treatment may be administered. A dog urinary tract infection is not that apparent in its early stages. Main Symptoms of Canine UTI: Problems Urinating Your dog may show both physical and behavioral signs of UTI. However the main symptoms of this illness are urinary problems. Review the signs of urinary dysfunction below to determine if your dog may have an infection. Accidents around the home when already housebroken Blood or pus in the urine Cloudy urine or dark colored urine Crystals in the urine Foul smelling urine Urinating frequently in small increments Pain or strain during urination Incontinence and urine trickling Increased urination Behavioral and Physical Symptoms of a Dog Urinary Tract Infection Along with changes in urination, a dog with UTI may also show behavioral and other physical symptoms. When your dog begins to show uncharacteristic behavior like urinating in unusual places or less agility, these may be warning signs of an infection. Dogs with prostate cancer may experience similar symptoms as those with UTI. If your dog is straining to urinate, has blood in his genital area, or constipated, have him examined to rule out prostate cancer. Keep an eye on your dog for the additional warning signs of UTI: Decreased energy levels Dehydration Licking of the genital area Insatiable thirst Fatigue and lethargy Presence of a fever Tenderness in the lower stomach region Weight loss Vomiting/nausea Related Links: Canine Urinary Tract Infection: Diagnosis and Treatment Canine Urinary Tract Infection Explained Canine Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms Home Remedies for UTI in Dogs Dog Urinary Tract Infection Anitbiotics Comments Related Links: Canine Urinary Tract Infection: Diagnosis and Treatment Canine Urinary Tract Infection Explained Canine Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms Home Remedies for UTI in Dogs Dog Urinary Tract Infection Anitbiotics Next Copyright © 2012 VetInfo.

YT 500 Club Member | Thank you for the response. He does not strain to go and it does not smell because I smell it on the pad and it smells fine and no blood. The only thing I noticed is he is licking down there but just now he was licking down there and he was just licking his foot. |

| Sammy a while back had an infection that was not a uti but was causing him to pee in the house and act a bit strange. It was one of those times I am glad to have a girl because my mom had to actually put liquid into his private part kinda swash it around and then let it come out. He also had to take an oral medicine. I would think if he is peeing in his sleep something is going on.
