A UTI is also known as a Urinary Tract Infection and it is a common illness in a variety of dog breeds including the Belgian Tervurens. Symptoms that your Belgian Tervurens may have a UTI include his inability to urinate, passing small amounts of urine at a time, blood in the urine, leaking of urine, frequent urination, increased water consumption, and/or fever. If your Belgian has any of these symptoms please call your vet right away. Your vet will most likely conduct a routine exam and possibly run blood work and a urinary analysis to find a diagnosis. UTI treatment may include antibiotics, diet change, and even surgery in extreme cases. It’s important to note that any dog could be prone to a UTI infection, but some believe it is more common in older female or male dogs and dogs with diabetes.
