UTIs in Horses

veterinarian Dahlonega, GA

Did you know that a UTI stands for Urinary Tract Infections? UTIs are common in people and animals especially cats and dogs. Although not as common in horses, a UTI has been known to develop in a horse. Understanding the signs of symptoms of a UTI can help you help your horse more quickly. Symptoms often include straining to urinate, frequent urination, urinating frequently but only passing small amounts at a time, and possibly blood in the urine. Contact your vet immediately when you discover any of these symptoms. A UTI in horses is typically bacterial meaning the infection comes from bacteria outside of the horse’s body and enters into the horse through the urethra then finding its way to the kidneys or bladder. You can try and help your horse drink more water to flush out the bacteria. This along with your veterinarian Dahlonega, GA prescription recommendation can help heal your horse.
