Suggest Treatment For Urinary Tract Infection

My dog is a 5 year old, female Bichon Frise and recently she has been urinating much more often than usual. She has been doing it usually every half hour. She is also drinking approximately 200 ml of water a day. Is it possibly a urinary tract infection or is it an obedience issue?

Hi,

Most likely urinary tract infection. Primary guidelines to get your dog better early
- allow still more liquids by mouth
- grape juice and coconut water functions as natural urinary alkalizer
- take care of genital hygiene
- consult animal expert as per the need

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
