There are many factors that can cause a UTI in a female puppy. It could be a physical anomaly in you puppy or even a common misdiagnosis. Before you rush your puppy off to the pet hospital, you should be aware of these common UTI treatment mistakes that are made in conventional veterinary medicine.
A female puppy UTI is a common problem because female puppies have a shorter urethra than male puppies. The shorter urethra provides a quick path for bacterial infection in her bladder.
1. Vets are quick to prescribe antibiotics for a UTI in a female puppy, but they often don't prescribe them for a long enough period of time. This causes the infection to rebound after treatment.
2. The problem with antibiotics for UTI treatment is that they have to be taken in high doses and for long periods of around 4-6 weeks. The result of taking such high doses for long periods can lead to an all new infection. If you want to treat your puppy's UTI without putting her health at risk, try something more gentle like a homeopathic remedy instead.
3. A UTI in a female puppy is often misdiagnosed. It is a recurrent problem in many dogs because vets fail to address the underlying causes. There are many factors that can cause recurrent UTIs in female puppies including an "innie" vulva, a birth defect, and a tumor. Unless these underlying problems are treated, your puppy will continue being affected by UTIs.
4. Your veterinarian needs to use a specific antibiotic for the specific type of bacteria that is causing your puppy's UTI. Sometimes female puppy UTI becomes recurrent because the vet doesn't prescribe the right antibiotics. You may even go through some trial and error before getting it right.
5. Sometimes an incorrect diagnosis of a UTI in a female puppy is a problem. Your vet may do a urinalysis but it dosn't detect any bacteria in your puppy's urine. That leads to the wrong conclusion that your puppy is just fine and the problem is all in your head.
There are many different strains of bacteria that can cause a UTI in a female puppy. Instead of trying to treat your puppy's UTI by trial and error, why not give her a homeopathic remedy? Homeopathic remedies heal your puppy at a cellular level and contain minute amounts of natural ingredients that get rid of harmful bacteria. They can be used to treat your puppy's UTI no matter what type of bacteria is causing the infection.
Don't let your puppy suffer unnecessarily from misdiagnosis. Make preventive treatment a part of her lifestyle by providing her with a natural homeopathic remedy. Make sure she has good food to eat, plenty of fresh water to drink, and a daily dose of a homeopathic remedy. If you keep up with this routine, you won't ever have to take her to see a vet for a UTI.
