Urinary tract infection after neutering

[Snwong]

Roy b got neutered on tuesday. He has one undescented tesitcle, so the procedure is a bit more complicated. But thank god, the surgery went well and he can go home on the same day, when we pick him up in the clinic, he seem fine and he even walked out himself to greet us.

The first day we've got home, he had accident very oftern (he usually can hold himself for 6 hours ), I thought may be because of the discomfort from the surgery that's why he had accident. On the next day morning, I notice there is blood in his urine. I brought him to the vet immediately, and she was suprised because the incesion is of the other tesitcle is not near the bladder. She think roy b was stress out about the surgery which make his immune system goes down. we did the urinlaysis and he has UTI.

I was wondering if anyone of you had UTI with their dog? I"m just really curious when the accident will go away, I can see him very frustrated when he pee on the floor, he is a very clean dog and he always refuse to pee in traing pad in the house.

My female dog Gypsy has had recurring UTI's and normally when we go outside I'll know she has one because she will start squatting several times. I leave a puppy pad down in the house also and have her go on it every couple days just so I can check her for signs of blood since she gets them so often just in case I miss some signs. She has also developed female incontinence.She would just lay there and wet herself and is now on meds for that. The problem is I have never had a male dog with a UTI. His having accidents could be a combo of the infection and discomfort from the surgery not allowing him to hold it too long.
My vet suggested in addition to antibiotics a Chinese herb called Yunnan Baiyao 25 mg once a day it is well known for stopping bleeding. You can also use it topically for cuts,nail bleeds etc. I bought it on Amazon

Bailey had a few UTI's as a puppy. Her potty accidents did go away. Just make sure you clean up his accidents with nature's miracle. And when Roy is all better, go back to the basics. Give him treats and praise him for going outside. Just a few times to remind him that he is supposed to make outside.

I'm glad to know that he will go back to normal without going thru the potty training again~~

It's really frustrated when he got UTI while he is still recovering from the surgery. I'm living in an apartment, and I'm don't want him to walk to much when he still have wounds on him, at the same time I want to take him out to potty because he looked at me with a sad face everytime he got accident~~

did you guys ever try adding Apple cider vinegar to his food? I heard it's good for UTI

It is actually pretty normal for a puppy to have to pee a lot the day they've been neutered or spayed. Typically they hook up an IV to the pup and pump them full of fluids while they preform the procedure, the rest of the time the pup spends in the vets office is typically spent in a kennel while they recover from the anestesia.

So the first thing your pup needs to do when you get him home is potty, and then a little while later potty again, and then some more. I took Vash out every 20 min or so after he got neutered.

My pup was back to his normal pee schedule the next day. If Roy has a UTI it would probably be a good idea to go to the vet and get some medication for it, he did after all have surgery and it's never good to get an infection after surgery. As for how long it will take to get him back on a normal potty schedule....

Make sure your not allowing them to pee inside, if he goes potty and you miss it fine don't punish. But if you see him start to pee make sure to be consistant with your prior potty training methods. If it's the UTI causing him to potty in the home then typically your given medicine for 1-2 weeks, and towards the end of the first week the pup will start to "Feel better".
