What Causes Dog Penis and Vagina Infections and Inflammation?
Penis and vagina infections can be very painful for your dog as you might expect. The cause of this is simply bacteria travelling up the urethra (the tube inside the penis or vagina that leads to the bladder) this then continues to become worse as time goes on.
When this happens the urethra will become very soar and inflamed which then causes the urethra tube to be squashed and compressed slightly making it harder for the urine to flow through, and causing pain and discomfort to the dog.
What Your Vet May Say or Do
When a vet is presented with a dog with possible case of penis or vagina inflammation they will probably take a urine sample to test for blood cells, acidic (pH) levels, and glucose in the urine.
Finding blood vessels in the urine sample confirms that there is inflammation in the bladder or penis/vagina area and possible cystitis may need to be checked for.
Glucose in the urine sample may encourage bacteria growth and symbolises possible diabetes in your dog, different treatment will be needed to correct the issue and make your dog less prone to inflammation and infections.
If the pH levels in your dog's urine are too high then it may not contain sufficient acid levels to combat any bacteria, again making your dog more prone to bacterial attack and needing further treatment such as different foods and drinks to lower the pH level.
Once these procedures have been done the vet will be able to diagnose the best antibiotics and inflammatory medication to use for the specific case and dog patient.
