My dog finished UTI meds but still has accidents and strains.

Question

Hello. My 5 yr old, female dog just had a follow up appt with her vet this past Sunday, 11/18 after a round of antibiotic (zeniquin) for recurring uti. A urine culture was done. Vet called me this afternoon to say culture came back and no bacteria found. PH levels were good (7.5). Arrived home this evening & noticed my dog had accidents in bedroom. She has been asking to go frequently, with straining. No signs of blood however, sometimes there is slimy discharge. Message left with vet. Thank you.

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs are definitively compatible with a urinary tract infection/inflammation. Stress related (idiopathic type of inflammation) infection and presence of crystals are the most common causes of it. Another clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Ultrasound or x rays of the abdomen may be needed as there may be stones inside the bladder (which does not show up on urine analysis). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
