A bladder infection in a dog is a painful condition that causes the bladder to become swollen and inflamed. It is generally caused by a bacterial infection, and in some cases crystals may form in the bladder. If you suspect a bladder infection, your veterinarian will test the dog's urine. Antibiotics are typically prescribed to clear up bladder infections in dogs.
Frequent Urination
A dog with a bladder infection may begin to urinate more frequently and also in unusual and inappropriate places.
Urine Changes
When a dog has a bladder infection, you may notice that the urine is bloody or it may seem as though the urine is dribbling when he empties his bladder.
Vomiting
Another sign of a bladder infection in a dog is frequent vomiting.
Pain
A bladder infection can cause pain and inflammation in the abdominal cavity. The dog's stomach area may be tender to the touch.
Fatigue
Another sign your dog may have a bladder infection is unusual fatigue or other behavior changes, such as depression or irritability.
Appetite
A dog with a bladder infection may also suddenly become uninterested in eating or may eat much less than usual.
