Urinary system bacterial infections or urinary tract infections are an exceedingly common condition in puppies and adult dogs. It is diagnosied more often in females, but can be discovered in dogs of any sex or age. This condition can trigger some level of distress and pain, and in rare cases bring about the bacteria to travel up the ureters to the kidneys. In most cases a urinary or bladder infection develops when harmful bacteria from the exterior of the body moves up within the urinary path via the urethra into the bladder. The bacteria then begins to colonize in large numbers in the bladder to a level that causes issues.
The reason for more caution with females is the shorter distance between the outside of the body and the bladder and the broader opening for carrying urine out of the body. The male penis has a smaller circumfrence and provides a larger distance to travel. Seniors are at more risk due to the potential of a depressed immune system, which allows the bacteria to colonize and take advantage of the bodys inability to ward off the bacteria. Certain conditions can also hep to promote the formation of UTIs like diabetes. In this situation sugar levels rise in the urine, making an ideal circumstances for bacterial formation. Large cats are also susceptible. Moisture buildup in these skin folds enables bacterial to colonize, particularly when the folds are round the urethra opening.
There are several symptoms that can indicate that a dog urinary infection is tcausing problems for your dog. The first visible symptom is some type of change in everyday urinary behavior, for example having accdients inside the home. This is inot due to a behavior problem, but as a result of the urinary discomfort felt by the dog. To get relief, the dog seeks to empty the bladder often, wherever they happen to be. Since the dog urinates more frequently, he or she will also urinate in smaller amounts. A dog may even appear to be urinating or straining to urinate with no actual urine leaving the body. Other symptoms may include canine blood in the pee or a pungent urine odor.
In the event that you observe a dog pushing or straining to urinate, or an increase in frequency, its vital that you visit the doctor as quickly as possible. The veterinarian will test the urine, which checks the quantity of crystals in the urine, white blood cells and red blood cells. A urine sample will also be placed into a special container to determine if bacteria begins to grow. Depending on these test results a Veterinarian will know which of the FDA approved antibiotics should be prescribed. Once a dog is placed on antibiotics, improvement should be seen in about 48 hours.
Once treatment ends, testing will be repeated to be certain that the condition has been cured. If a dog fails to respond, or if frequent bacterial infections remain an issue, the vet will do further testing for issues like diabetes or an infection which has moved into the kidneys via the ureters.
