Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
This pet is being treated for a urinary tract infection (UTI). A UTI is caused when bacteria occupies or
infects the bladder. A UTI can cause inappropriate urination until the antibiotics begin to work.
The foster period for recovery from a UTI is usually 2-4 weeks. Once the pet has completed the
antibiotics, a urine sample will need to be collected and brought in to be rechecked for the UTI. At that
time, it will be determined if the pet can be made available for adoption or if additional antibiotics are
required, depending on the results of the urinalysis. All medical diagnostics/treatment are made by
Second Chance Animal Hospital.
At home care will require oral medications, and monitoring the pet for difficulties urinating, frequency
of urinating and any abnormal color or amount of urine. It will be important for the pet to have frequent
opportunities to go out to relieve themselves.
