Unfortunately your whole question did not post. If you are asking if dogs can get them, the answer is yes. They usually show signs of increased thirst and frequent urination without producing much. You may or may not see blood in the urine. They can sometimes be lethargic and not eat. She would need to see a vet to determine if there is an infection or bladder stones and start Gemini on antibiotics to cure the infection. If there are stones she may require a diet change or surgery to remove them. I hope this answers your question, if not please repost and we will be happy to help!
