Is Azo cranberry safe to give my dog for a urinary tract infection?

One pill shouldn't alter the results, so that will be fine. AZP should not be given to dogs, it's not a medication that can be safely used in this species. The best way to prevent infections is to make sure Amelia drinks lots of water, and you take her out to urinate frequently. The longer she holds her bladder, the more chance bacteria has to build up in the bladder leading to infections.

An immediate check up at your local veterinarian is required as this drug could cause toxic side effects. The signs you are describing are compatible with urinary tract infection/inflammation and Piper should be investigated and treated for it, starting from urine analysis and possibly an ultrasound of the bladder. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This product is not intended to be given to cats and it can be harmful and also really not helpful. I would avoid starting this for Hiccup. If concerned that she could have a urinary condition, it is always best to have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

AZO tablets are not recommended for dogs and cats, although a single standard dose would probably not be toxic. It’s possible that Zephyr is vomiting secondary to what is now a kidney infection, or that his straining is caused by prostate disease or bladder stones. I would recommend seeing your veterinarian. They can check Zephyr’s prostate and check a urine sample.

Fortunately nothing in this list is dangerous for him even in high amounts, as far as this goes he should be fine, he might suffer from some diarrhea or vomiting but nothing serious. regarding the UTI though, this product will probably not solve the condition, you will have to take him to the vet in order to have a course of antibiotics.

What a cutie! I cannot see the ingredients label on your product so I cannot say for certain, but there are no toxic concerns with cranberry or parsley. I would, however, recommend talking to your vet about his urine stream. I would be concerned about the possibility of an issue with the prostate or something like a bladder stone and your vet may want to do an X-ray to check for these problems if your pup isn’t improving on the antibiotics.

As far as I know this is a rare intoxication in dogs (it has been reported though). It can cause hepatotoxicity and rhabdomyolysis secondary to phenazopyridine toxicity in a dog. Signs described are shifting leg lameness involving all 4 limbs, progressive reluctance to walk and severe diffuse muscle hyperesthesia (pain). I would recommend to take her to your veterinarian for a check up. Blood tests may be required to check possible liver damage and function.
