Intact dogs with prostate infections are usually treated with antibiotics. Ideally a culture of the urine will help guide the antibiotic choice but sometimes a culture isn’t available. If this becomes a repeating problem then neutering may be recommended. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
