Hi my dog was at the vet this past Friday she was diagnosed with a UTI. She has been on the antibiotics for 5 days. She has been experiencing shaking & difficultly in walking. Is this common with a UTI?

Hello. No, this is not common with UTIs. Either her diagnosis needs to be reevaluated, or her antibiotics are affecting her. I would recommend contacting your vet with these alarming symptoms & see if Abby needs to be seen again. Hope all is well soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
