Could be a UTI or bladder stones...

[browniesmom622]

take him to another vet

How old is the pup? I would worry about kidney failure, a severe UTI or he's trying to pass a stone. Is there an emergency vet that may be better equipped anywhere around her. The baby definately needs medical attention and FAST. Please have her get that baby somewhere quickly!! Praying for the sweet puppy.

he's 4 years old she has already gone to 2 vets but no luck there still at the vets right now first the vet said some one had tryed to poison the dog so the pumped him with meds then to realise that that was not what was wrong with him idk i went to visit peru once and i wouldnt trust them with my coco they want money so they charge alot and dont do much but n-e-wayz what is a UTI and how is that treated and the bladder stones

[drawlins27]

Have they done a blood panel, urine analysis, or an x-ray? That should have been the first place they started. Bladder stones are best treated with surgery, UTI is an infection and is treated with antibiotics.

Wow, it almost sounds like he is trying to pass a bladder stone...This guy needs serious help...If he does have a bladder stone stuck in his urethra, he is going to need surgery to have it removed...Is he urinating? If that's what it is, he is in some serious pain...Have them check for stones...Praying for this little baby...

A UTI is a urinary tract infection. Treated with antibiotics. If they suspected poisoning, why? Was he also pooping blood? Why are they recommending putting him to sleep, have they done any testing at all? Bladder stones and severe UTI's can be life threatening if not treated. The baby can develop sepsis (infection in the bloodstream) become very sick, dehydrated, and confused and can die. I hope she gets some answers. I hope this poor baby gets some relief soon.

they suspected poisoning cause in peru people arent really dog people the neighbor is always trying to poison him so thats why they thought that i personally hate thrid world countrys my whole family is planning a trip over there for december so im probably going to film all the stray animals and how the people kick them and miss treat them and beat them with brooms im hoping to rescue a pup from there im getting my own apt with my boyfriend soon so yea i wanna help the animals over there its so sad seeing them sooo thin but n-e-ways i still havent had new from my cousin last i heard the doctor was going to give her the results from the blood test so she was on the way to vet i will try to call again later and keep you posted... one more thing if i wanna fly to peru with my coco what papers am i going to need for her and what r the chances of her getting sick over there she has all her shots.

rom what my cousin had said was that when they first brought him in they thought it was poisioning and they pumped him with meds then he started having some sort of attack like a breathing attack and tryed to pee but very little was coming out then i posted on her told her that you guys thought i might be the kidneys casue of the blood in the urine or a uti and she called the vet and thats when they did the blood test on him but i seriously think that the vets over there dont know anything the just keep naming thinks that they think might be wrong with him at one point they said that he had epilepsy im not sure if i spelled that right but these docs dont know anything and the next vet is in lima peru and thats far from where she's at so i dont know im wireing money to them as soon as i get ahold of her to find out the test results
