My cocker spaniel has been peeing on the floor lately when she knows to go outside. theres no blood or foul smell.
tonight she finished her food then ran into the other room and started peeing on the floor. and shes been peeing on the floor lately. moneys tight unless needed i do not want to have to take her to a vet.
shes a little over a year. she’ll turn 2 in March.

These are all pretty good indications that she has a UTI. The only way to correct it is with antibiotics that you will have to get from the vet. Please don’t yell at her either when she goes on the floor inside, she can’t help it, and knows she is doing wrong. Take her outside as quickly as possible or keep her in an area that is easy to clean up. Get her to the vet as soon as possible for treatment. They are easy to clear up if treated quickly.

My cat, Itty, keeps hopping from litter box to litter box, (we have 2 boxes), we think it may be a UTI problem. We can’t get her to the vet yet because she was a stray and not too socialized yet. Can anyone suggest any home remedies?

Whether or not she’s social that doesn’t matter. A vet is trained to deal with animals that don’t want to be touched.
UTI’s can turn into kidney infections which are really serious.
I suggest taking your cat to a vet and getting her some antibiotics. That’ll be a lot cheaper than dealing with a kidney infection. Also as a human I know how painful UTI’s can be, so for a cat is must really hurt.
Be a good owner and get her to the vet please.

I called the vet today. They have no available appts but I go in at 2 pm and wait until they can fit me in somewhere. So I could be there for an hour or so, but has anyone’s dog or puppy had a UTI? What were their symptoms?

Yup my female puppy just had one.

Her symptoms were: frequent peeing, frequent squating but no peeing/or just a few drops, excessive water intake, and she had a bit of mucas that would come out with urine.

I to was told to walk in and see if they could get me in, try to get a sample beforehand -easier said than done- lol. Or they will try to get one once you get there, they MAY have to take a sample with a needle/syringe thing. Atleast that is what they said to me…luckily the doc didn’t want to put my girl through that and they just prescribed me the anti biotics since I knew the symptoms, so good for you for educating yourself before you go!

Good luck, hope your pup gets better soon!

My 2 yr old male cat got an infection a couple days ago so we took him to the vet and now hes on meds. But now my 4 yr old cat is meowing really loud and keeps licking himself. ( Lil similar to my other cat)

What are the chances that both of them got an infection? I can’t really afford to take another cat for tests atm.

*Note* I have 4 cats 2 male and 2 female. The females seem fine. Also my oldest female cat keeps "bullying" the others. Could that have something to do with his behavior?

Urinary infections cannot be left untreated. Call your vet and make payment arrangements.

Good Luck!

My friend has a small Jack Russel Terrier/Beagle mix dog. Usually, he is very energetic and he loves to eat. Lately, though, he has been very mellow and won’t eat or drink anything. Also, he has been urinating blood. And I am not talking about bloody urine, I mean he is urinating straight-up blood, with maybe a few drops of urine, max. He’s young, too. About a year old. Is this a possible urinary tract infection or something else? He’s going to the vet tomorrow, but his master would still like to know. Please answer!

Also, I just picked him up, and I noticed his heart beat is fast and he is breathing heavy.
The owner says she doesn’t have the money nor the means of transporting the dog to get him to a vet right now. Right now, we just want a probable answer so we can try to figure out exactly what we are dealing with, so we can look it up and see if he has the same symptons. So far, we’ve been looking stuff up and, from what I’ve seen, at least, the results we got from looking it up didn’t match up.
It did NOT cry when I picked it up. He had a fast heartbeat and heavy breathing. But he did NOT cry.
In response to Lori: Okay. I’ll tell my friend what you just said. She’s outside, right now, talking to my uncle because he just got home and he knows alot about dogs. My e-mail is jinxed.destiny@yahoo.com.
Hey, Fiesty, juts to let you know, I don’t care about your stupid comments and I never give anyone a thumb down. I have not and will never put a price before a dog’s life, but my friend is in a bit of a pickle on her own end. So, unless you know the whole situation and exactly what kind of a predicament she’s in, keep your comments to your damn self. I asked for answers, not opinions. And she takes VERY good care of her dog. She always has. Her life centers around that dog like it was a baby!
UPDATE: My friend got Copper(the dog) to drink a little bit of water. It wasn’t much, but it’s better than nothing. Just letting you guys know.

Sounds like a problem that is serious enough to where he should have seen the vet yesterday. Right now, even if its after hours, your "friend" should take the dog to a vet or animal hosp ER. He might not make it til tomorrow. Get the lead out, if your "friend" values his dog. to take it ASAP.
Then, give the dog to someone who will take proper care of it and not put cost ahead of the dog’s well being! I’ve always said, ("If you care badly enough, you’ll find a way to do what NEEDS to be done"
(..mutter) .."dummies with dogs"….(curse!….mutter…mutter)

Okay first of all, Lloyd eats constantly. It’s really annoying and he’s getting huge. But lately he’s had white stuff on his butt, but it doesn’t always look like worms coming out of his butt but like white stuff on his balls. So is it worms or urinary tract infection? What are the signs and treatment of a UTI? And is his constant eating a sign of anything? I’m serious, he does not stop eating. Literally.
Note: He eats dry food. Is this bad for him?
Actually it looks more yellow. I’m sorry these details are pretty gross I guess so thanks for help guys.
He hasn’t been peeing anywhere outside of the catbox but I suppose it could get worse. I’m going to buy him some UTI canned food to see if that helps until tomorrow when the vet is open.

GET HIM TO A VET. He needs to see a vet to diagnose this problem. Also the vet can recommend a diet programme.
