Cystitis in dogs is a very common disease that in some cases is confused with a behavioral problem. If you notice that your dog urinates at home and is not able to control himself, you will first have to rule out the possibility of a urinary infection. In summer, bacteria proliferate due to the increase in temperatures, and we change our habits due to vacations, good weather, etc. All this makes it the ideal time for the development of cystitis in dogs. Cystitis or urinary infection is caused when an infectious agent “invades” the dog's unitary system, causing inflammation of the bladder . As in humans, infections can occur in isolation or be recurrent throughout the dog's life. They are more common in females than in males since their urethra is shorter. The most common way bacteria enter the urinary system is from the intestines. The bacteria colonize the skin that covers the anus area and from there move to the urethra and reach the bladder. Other factors that can cause cystitis in dogs are: bladder tumors and their treatment with chemotherapy bladder stones, which can lead to infection medication that weakens the dog's immune system diabetes, which raises blood glucose levels, facilitating the proliferation of bacteria Congenital malformations Symptoms of cystitis in dogs The clearest manifestation of cystitis is an increase in urinary frequency . The dog will urinate many times but very little and will do so uncontrollably and in unusual places, losing drops of urine throughout the house. Sometimes the urine will be accompanied by blood or will be dark in color. Other symptoms are hyperactivity (caused by the urge to urinate), discomfort, pain and stinging when urinating, which will make the dog complain and cry.

We will also have to be aware if we notice that he continually licks his genital areas or if he adopts strange positions when urinating. All these discomforts can be accompanied by apathy and despondency . In the presence of one or more of these symptoms, it is recommended to go to the veterinarian. This will determine the presence of the disease and the treatment to follow, usually with antibiotics. To diagnose cystitis, a urine analysis and culture will be necessary or an imaging diagnosis can be made, usually through an ultrasound.
