This question is for my best friend & her bully
Submitted by KarenandRocco on August 13, 2011 - 2:04pmShe has a female bully Ginger, and the lady she bought her from wasn't a good breeder. Our vet actually warned the lady to quit breeding her dogs. Anyway Ginger "always" gets bladder infections. This time she has been on a antibiotic since tuesday and my friend texted last night saying she wouldn't eat & was throwing up. I told her to atleast she if she'll eat ice cubes cuz she was throwing up when she drank water. Does anybodys bully get bladder infections that much???? She is taking her to the vet today. I was just wondering cuz I haven't seen that on the forum..... I think she feeds her Iams.

from Tillie Mae's mom. Years ago our Oreo had one uti after another. We finally found a vet who decided to 'cleanse' her urine so she would stop getting them. He put her on Methanamine Hippurate and it worked for her, no more infections. And it worked for Tillie Mae. Maybe you could suggest it to her vet, it's worth a try, if I remember correctly it's not very expensive.
most uti"s that keep
coming back are on the wrong medication.....have the urine sent out to a lab so they can check what type of bacteria their is.....also 1000mg of vit c to bring the ph level up also cranberry pills work fine...
hope this helps
Thanks Much gals!!!!! I will def pass it on!!!!!! : )
