Yes, dogs can get kidney infections that can leave them very ill. Vomiting, loss of appetite, painful backs, tight painful bellies, blood in the urine, & lethargy can all be symptoms. If you are concerned, please talk to your veterinarian for a diagnosis & proper treatment plan. Thank you using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
