| UTI after Spaying?? Has Anyone else had their yorkie get a Urinary Tract Infection caused by spaying? The day after her surgery Shadow was having trouble urinating and their were little spots of light olored blood. I called the vet and he said that it was most likely a UTI and that she was already on antibiotics and it should clear it up, but to call if there were any other symptoms. He wants me to call him on Monday anyway to see how she is doing. Is this normal? I mean do many get a UTI after surgery? She's not lethargic, but she is less active, normal after a surgery and having a collar get in the way. She's eating more, but no where near normal as yet, surgery was Friday. Just wondering. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I haven't had any of my dogs get a UTI after spay but I have heard of it happening and it's not too uncommon. Hugs to Shadow....I could only imagine spaying is already painful and discomforting, then to add a UTI along with it is just too much for a girl! Hope she is all better soon.

| I went through the same thing as you. We had our yorkie spayed Oct. 7 and through the week end she was doing little pees. Sometimes she could not go so that following Monday our vet put her on Clavamox twice a day. He said this sometimes happens ; they get a bladder irritation after a spay. Some of the YT members helped me too and said it is normal. Hope your baby gets well very soon ; it is so miserable for them to get a bladder infection. |

| Thanks so much for your good wishes and info. Just needed to know it wasn't really rare. She is on Clovamox already so hopefully it will be cleared up soon. Thanks |
