My dog has bloody urine, fever, appetite loss, lethargy. Is it enough?

Question

My pet was taken to a local vet because of blood in urine, fever, loss of appetite and lethargy. The vet then prescribed antibiotic (biocure) and rowatinex (for dissolving kidney stones). Is it enough? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 3 years old | 33 lbs

Antibiotics alone are usually effective for an infection, which I'm assuming was the cause of the bloody urine. The fever, lethargy and loss of appetite would make me suspicious of a kidney infection though, which may need additional treatment depending on the findings. The rowatinex should also be helpful for dissolving stones if this was seen. Without knowing more about his case and being able to examine him, I'm not able to offer any more insight into his specific problem, or additional treatment. For this, you would need to have a local veterinarian see Rambo in order to give a second opinion. I would suggest this if Rambo is getting worse with the current treatment, or is not getting better within two days of starting the treatment. I hope that helps and Rambo gets better soon.
