Urinary Tract Infections in Pets

Common Signs of Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in pets and can be identified by several key symptoms:

  • Increased Frequency: Pets may urinate more frequently than usual.
  • Straining: Difficulty or straining during urination.
  • Urinary Retention: Attempts to urinate without producing any urine, indicating possible blockage or inflammation.
  • Changes in Urine Colour: Urine may appear darker or contain blood, which can indicate inflammation or blood in the urine.
  • Increased Thirst: Pets may drink more water than usual.

These symptoms are indicative of a urinary tract infection in pets and should be monitored closely.
