Why did my dog have trouble peeing after a dental water additive?

The urine output will be masdibely down if he is not drinking. As long as the bladder isnt blocked not urinating is not an issue, but the issue is why he is not urinating. He must be really dehydrated and this is bad for his organs, but especially the kidneys. I would go to your vet asap as this is not normal. He may have issues since the anaesthetic or just be really sore.

Poor Tiger! It's possible that her symptoms are pain-related, but since she hasn't responded well to pain meds and her breath smells a bit like urine, I would be concerned that she may have a serious problem such as liver or kidney failure - this can occasionally happen after general anesthesia or sedo, especially in older dogs. If your vet did not check blood work on Thursday, I would definitely recommend having this done as soon as possible. It's important to find out for sure what's going on so that she can be treated appropriately.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The urinary tract symptoms you describe could be due to a urinary tract infection, urinary stones, a tumor, among other possibilities. Keep in mind that this may be unrelated to the crystals and can even be something like urinary incontinence. I would continue monitoring for signs of painful urination or bloody urine. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further diagnostics would include abdominal imaging and lab work. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

Not that I am aware of. The exact cause of calcium oxalate bladder stones is poorly understood at this time. Normal dog urine is slightly acidic and contains waste products from metabolism including dissolved mineral salts and other compounds. These mineral salts will remain dissolved in the urine as long as the pH stays within a narrow range, and as long as the urine does not become too concentrated. Some diets that cause a persistently alkaline urine pH may also cause this. This link may help you more. ( https://www.vetmed.umn.edu/sites/vetmed.umn.edu/files/canine_calcium_oxalate_uroliths.pdf )

Cats are very picky with different "flavors" in their food or water. You can leave a bowl of fresh water out and a bowl of water with the Fresh Breath added in. If he ignores the treated bowl and drinks from the plain water, then you will have your answer.

Regarding Jumbo’s urine, the viscous appearance could be caused by a urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine, stones in the urinary tract, a mass, diabetes or other endocrine disease, kidney disease, or trauma to the area. It is important that you make an appointment to have Jumbo seen by your veterinarian as soon as you can to help determine the cause and to start treatment. If you notice him straining to urinate/unable to produce urine, this is a medical emergency and he should be seen by a vet immediately.

There may be some residual inflammation related to the stones. He may also have urinary crystals which may also be irritating. Dis uss anti-inflammatory or pain medi ation with your veterinary. Having either on board may make Watson more comfortable. A sterile urine sample should be collected and submitted for urinalysis, culture and sensitivity. If he has a UTI, the culture will confirm it. The sensitivity panel will determine the most effective antibiotic to use in treatment. It may be that any potential bacteria are not susceptible to amoxicillin.
