What should I do about my puppy's bladder infection?

Answer by  Kaydee (252)

Bladder infections, if left untreated, can lead to kidney infections. I would recommend that you submit a urine sample to your veterinarian so that they can test it to rule out other problems. Generally a two week course of proper antibiotics will cure bladder infections.

Bladder infections are very uncomortable and can easily spread to the kidneys and do permanent damage. Your puppy should be taken to the vet and they should do a urine analysis to find out what caused the infection. This is important because it is abnormal for a puppy to have this infection. Your puppy needs antibiotics immediately.

You need to get him to the Vet as soon as you can. Untreated bladder infections can cause crystals in the urine which can potentially kill your puppy. Your Vet will give you a simple pill which you give your dog every day for a week or two and it will go away.
