Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Daisy! Possible causes for her symptoms are a UTI, crystals in her urine, bladder stones are worse case a bladder or urethral tumor. I recommend catching a urine sample and making an appointment with your Vet. They can check the urine for bacteria or crystals. They may want to take an X-ray to check for bladder stones. If she has a UTI then they will prescribe antibiotics. I hope this helps and I wish Daisy a speedy recovery!
