Dogs can get a UTI from any bacteria that enters the urethra. Do you wipe your dog after she uses the bathroom? If so, that's not recommended b/c that can cause it too. Also, if dogs are like humans in this area, once they (we) get a UTI, getting them again comes much easier. :( |
No i don't wipe her...she gets it all out when she goes. It is possible that something in the grass might be doing it cause going back a year or two she was having bouts of bile coming up when she ate grass. Being that the grass is not always mowed where we walk "sometimes" maybe something is getting inside her. She weewee's in the grass if it is there...otherwise she goes in on the street/sidewalk. I will keep that in mind when we walk.....during the summer I stay away from grass cause of fleas...I only do about 2 applications of fleas control per year. That has been working for us. I just think if the meds are working so soon (the same day I gave it to her-yesterday) and 1/2 the prescrip she was on before....it is a good sign. I had asked the vet first time if it could be anything else and he said no. He must have done some checking...plus we just had xrays and nothing is out of place etc. Tina |

YOu can try giving her something called Berry Balance by Solid gold or something called free and clear by http://www.equi-animalherbs.com/shop...t=3&cart=34497 Its supposed to help prevent them. The woman who sells free and clear is a very good herbalist, I would call her and talk to her and then discuss your findings with your vet to see if you can use these products to help prevent them |
I have alot of that Berry Balance if you like I could mail you some to see if that works, if so just pm me :) |
I feed them the Innova adult.....it just says adult dog food....white and green bag. What is EVO. The dog food is dry. I don't see her drinking more water but she does drink a good amount but I am home 5 days a week during the summer so I am walking them more. They drink water whenever we go out as soon as they come in. As far as the Berry Black I will look into it but I am going to finish the meds first. She has 8 days more to go. Let's keep our fingers crossed and I will surely look into changing her food. Maybe this is just a temporary thing...I really hope. She has been thru enough for this year. KristiC...thanks I will PM later. Thanks guys;) Tina |
You are more then welcome! I hope she gets better very soon! when Gucci was having her probs she started peeing blood and that freaked me out! but I know it has to be from the food she was on then, I now feed Chicken Soup for the puppy lovers soul.. they have been on it for over a year now and have done great. |
I forgot...one of the tests that vet took when we first went to him for the UTI in August was an ultra sound.....so not being well educated in what needed to be done to check cushings I am pretty sure he did all the necessary testing under the circumstances. I don't think he covered all the test for cushings but I think he covered enough to be able to determine that what she had was an infection. Tina |
Same here! We also fed all four of our yorkies the Nutro Naturals Lamb and Rice, the small bites. My two girls had UTI's, and had crystals in their urine, I had my boys urine tested and they also had crystals! What are the odds that all four would have them? We switched foods and after several months the crystals are finally gone. I personally think it was the food. |
