bladder infection

How do you get rid of a bladder infection with crystals and blood in her urine?


Hi
You need antibiotics to treat a urinary tract (or bladder) infection. Untreated it can lead to kidney problems and other serious health issues.

The crystals may be 'stones', there are several different kinds and they're generally a result of the bacteria causing the infection.

These crystals or stones also need to be treated so that they dissolve. If one gets trapped in the urethra (the tube the urine passes down) it can cause very serious problems.

A dog with a UTI is often in pain and feels pretty poorly and it's important to get your vet to make a diagnosis and prescribe the correct medication/s right away.

Best of luck, hope she's feeling better soon.
