Why does my dog have recurrent UTIs, kidney problems, and a cough?

Question

My dog seems to have another UTI, but she is also coughing. She has a history of kidney problems and this is her 3rd UTI since June. What is going on? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 10 years and 9 months old | 2.5 lbs

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

If she is getting recurrent urinary tract infections than she should be checked for bladder stones as dogs with bladder stones typically have recurrent infections. Your vet can take an x-ray or do an ultrasound of her bladder to check for stones. She should also have her kidney values checked and may need to stay on an antibiotic for an exteded period of time. Call your vet and schedule an recheck. Hope she feels better soon!
