Diseases in dogs are a relatively high incidence of dogs. They usually occur in male dogs and are often found in middle-aged dogs. This disease may be a disease of the urinary system or a disease caused by lesions in other parts of the dog's body. Next, let me give you some insight into which diseases of dogs belong to urinary system.
1. Urethritis; Urethritis refers to inflammation of the urethral mucosa. Mainly caused by bacterial infection. Often secondary to urethral obstruction, urethral injury and the spread of inflammation in surrounding and adjacent tissues (such as cystitis, foreskinitis, vaginitis, and endometriitis).
2. Cystitis; Cystitis in dogs refers to inflammation in the mucosa and submucosa of the dog's bladder, which is mainly caused by infection with pathogenic microorganisms, such as: E. coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Proteococcus, etc.
3. Chronic pyelonephritis; Pyelonephritis is a disease involving kidney inflammation, usually caused by bacterial infection. If there are bacteria in the urinary system of a dog, it may run all the way to the kidneys. Bacterial infections starting from the urinary tract are a very common cause of pyelonephritis.
4. Glomerular nephritis; due to antigens in the circulating blood, the antibody complex attaches to the near glomerulus. When reinfection occurs, it reacts on the basement membrane of the glomerulus capillary, causing basement membrane damage and glomerular nephritis.
5. Bladder stones and urethral stones; dog bladder urethral stones are one of the most common diseases in dog urinary tract stones. Some dogs are invaded by bacteria, causing the epidermis on the dog's urethral, causing them to fall off, and the tube type is produced. This is the core of the formation of stones; dog stones do not think of other urinary tract diseases above, and there are many causes of stones. First of all, in very hot weather, the water in the dog's body evaporates, which will cause it to urinate frequently and become thinner and form crystals. Because of drinking water, dogs drink less water and urinate less, and they will also form crystals. The feeding problem, the shovelers feed foods with very high protein grains such as liver and lean meat as staple foods, which will increase the content of phosphorus and calcium in the food, resulting in too high levels of phosphorus in the serum and urine and it is easy to produce stones. The content of phosphorus and calcium in the viscera of animals is very high. In this way, the phosphate ions, magnesium ions and ammonium ions excluded by dogs during urine will form ammonium phosphate when the amount reaches a certain amount and produce precipitated stones.
Once the above diseases appear, all of them are urinary system diseases of the dog. Generally, the symptoms of dogs who suffer from urinary system diseases are poor mental state, loss of appetite, difficulty in urination, frequent urination, and hematuria. A dog who suffers from urination may cause a small amount of urine and urination in the early stage. In severe cases, the urine will be closed and cannot be excreted at all. If there are symptoms, seek medical treatment in time.
