Dog Bladder Infections - Does My Dog Have the Symptoms

Dog Allergies Symptoms

In my research into dogs and cats urinary infections, I learned that dog bladder infections occur more often than in cats. I also became quite knowledgeable about the symptoms of urinary tract and cat and dog bladder infections. This condition can be avoided with proper diet and clean conditions.

I will first delve into the obvious symptoms of dog bladder infections and also touch on some preventative measures. Here are the signs to look for:

If your dog does not seem to be his old self in that his activity in almost non-existent and he just lays around looking very sad and lethargic. This is the first indication that your dog is not feeling well. Now is the time to keep an eye on him and try to detect what is wrong and what other signs of illness he may show.

Your dog, who has been house trained and has had no accidents in the house for years is now starting to urinate in the house. Not only just urinating but doing it often and in many different areas of the house. Now you really suspect a problem.

The next thing you will notice is that he tries and strains to urinate and you can tell he is in pain by the look on his face and the wining and whimpering you hear while he is trying to expel urine. With dog bladder infections you may also see traces of blood in his urine.

Now is the time to take your dog immediately to the vet for a positive diagnosis and a plan of treatment. If after testing, your vet confirms a urinary tract infection, you and he must decide on treatment.

Convention treatment is the use of antibiotics for 7-10 days that has proven to be effective but can be harmful in that it carries side effects that can bring more harm to your dog. Homeopathic vets find it safe and effective to use natural remedies for treatment and in some cases the use of both natural and conventional treatment work well.

To avoid recurring infection, keep the area which the dog uses clean, and make sure you change his water twice a day. Also, choose a natural food diet.
