Dog Urinary Tract InfectionThe blood-filtering mechanism of the kidneys, with their complex system of tubules, is subject to a number of problems. The whole system may be thrown out of balance or there may be a failure of one or more of the parts - in the ureters, the bladder, or the urethra. In addition to the damage done by these primary failures, infections or defects in these organs directly affect the functioning of other parts of the body and sometimes are instrumental in causing other diseases. The awareness of a problem in its early stage is a real challenge to even an observant pet owner - a dog cannot specify that it is out of sorts with a dull backache as humans can. But spotting an early-stage kidney disease can prevent disaster. You will be able to have your dog treated while the disease is in the early stage. The final, definite diagnosis of the specific problem will usually be made by your veterinarian. A urinalysis is generally necessary, for only an examination with a microscope will reveal that kidney tubules have shed their lining, that the urine contains crystals or bacteria, or that a number of other difficult-to-detect conditions indicative of a particular disease are present. Nevertheless, early recognition of the common symptoms is important, for these outward signs are usually first indications of trouble and as suds are the basis for further examination. These indications may be one or a combination of the following: a desire for fluids in excess of the usual amount drunk; either excess or more frequent urination than is usual; a slight loss of pep or enthusiasm. As a condition progresses, these signs become more pronounced more obvious. Dog Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms
