Our dog has a UTI and has only peed once today. Taking pain meds and antibiotics from vet. Should we be concerned and what can we do?

Is she trying to urinate but can’t? If so this could be an emergency and she should be seen immediately. It is also possible that she is dehydrated and doesn’t have much urine to produce. Either way I do think that this is concerning and she should be evaluated as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
