cystitus
« on: March 16, 2004, 09:16:19 PM »
Got in after picking kids up from school and let Poppy out, I noticed she had a wee. Went out about 10 mins later and she was weeing again, this time she started crying and lying down obviously in pain.  Immediatley took her to the vets who diagnosed cystitus and gave her an injection and oral antibiotics.  Poppy is now 10 months old could this be a sign of her coming into season?

Also we are going away in July and Poppy will have to go in kennels, I mentioned this to the vet who told me that they can give her some drug to stop her coming into season but they do not recommend it to stop a first season.  Can anyone give me any more information regarding this drug or any advise as to what my options would be regarding kenneling Poppy.

Can I add that I would love to cancel holiday and stop at home with Poppy,as I am absolutely terrified of flying, but hubby has twisted my arm.

Thanks

My dog came into her 1st season when she was about 13 months old and the run up to it seemed to take forever. I wouldn't worry about using kennels if she does come into season as a number have no problem with dealing with dogs who do.

Cystitis is a bladder infection - it's not usually anything to do with a bitch coming in season although at 10 months old, she may not be too far away. Apple cider vinegar in the drinking water is supposed to be very helpful in preventing cystitis coming back - some bitches can be prone to attacks for some reason.

Thank you for your replies Penny and Jane, I will get some Apple Cider vinegar in, just in case.  I will also phone round our shortlist of kennels to see if a bitch in season is a problem.

Thanks

You don't need much - say about a teaspoon to a bowl of water. You can also use cranberry juice but not all dogs will take to cranberry juice in their water :wink:

Or you could  try adding a few drops of colloidal silver to the drinking water.  it's brilliant stuff.

Hiya Linda, Take a look at this site
www.caninenaturalcures.co.uk

Then just look up the link to colloidal silver.  jess had a bit of a runny eye last week.  i bathed it with c/s on cotton wool and it cleared up immediately.  i think its fab :lol:  :lol:   Hubby uses it for his athletes foot an all and if it can clear that up it can cure anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a great site and easy to order from.  You can use colloidal silver for a million and one things

HTH
