chronic obstructive bladder damage, birth defects that resulted in small reservoir capacity, or dysfunction due to nerve innervation of the bladder muscle (sphincter)
An overactive bladder can be caused by various normal situations which do not require any treatment. Before considering that an overactive bladder is a problem, consider whether the intake of fluids has increased particularly alcohol. Weather conditions and age also affect the bladder control without being due to any medical problem. Overactive bladders often produce discolored urine from a simple darkening of the urine to showing signs of blood.
Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be caused by various conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder or kidney infections, trauma, or certain medical conditions like kidney disease or cancer. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if you experience hematuria as it may require further evaluation and treatment.
Swim bladder issues can sometimes resolve on their own if the underlying cause is temporary, such as stress or diet-related factors. However, if the problem persists or worsens, it may require intervention or treatment by a veterinarian.
They are all the same species so they all require identical treatment and conditions to breed successfully.
It cannot happen. There are conditions which treatment can lighten the skin. However, these require serious medical intervention.
Prerenal conditions may be treated with replacement fluids given through a vein, diuretics, blood transfusion, or medications. Postrenal conditions and intrarenal conditions may require surgery and/or medication
Respiratory therapy is used in the treatment of breathing disorders. Some such disorders include asthma, COPD, emphysema, and bronchitis.
More serious fractures require complicated, multi-step treatment.
Geriatric dogs can suffer from loss of bladder control due to underlying causes, such as urinary infections or condidions which cause excessive drinking and urination (e.g. chronic renal failure). Rarely, older dogs develop bladder (and/or prostrate) tumours which may cause incontinence. Spayed female dogs (bitches) may suffer loss of control due to an impaired sphincter mechanism in the neck of the bladder. Urethral incompetance may also be a cause in some dogs' 'last days'. Most of the above conditions are treatable, and it is important you visit your vet if your dog becomes incontinent. He/she will probably require a urine sample, so collection of a fresh specimen in a clean, dry container (with no detergent and as little contamination as possible) will speed up the diagnostic process. Your vet may also require x-rays and/or ultrasound scans to establish the cause of the problem and provide the best treatment possible. However, some conditions have no effective treatment to prevent the incontinence. Loss of bladder control is extremely distressing for the dog, as animals are 'house trained' from puppies. It is also emotionally upsetting for the owner, especially if the dog suffers loss of anal sphincter control as well. For these reasons, if treatment is not possible, and especially if other conditions are present which are causing suffering to the dog (which cannot be adequately treated), euthanasia may be considered. Although a difficult decision, if animals are in distress or suffering, this can be the kindest option for the animal.
The doctor will examine the patient's back and hips to check for conditions that require surgery or emergency treatment.
usually does not require treatment, since a tiny leakage occurs in most normal people. In certain cases, however, if there is underlying pulmonary valve disease or lung disease, those conditions should be treated.
Increasing your calcium intake can play a major role in the prevention or treatment of cataracts. (Cataracts require special Calcium emphasis.)
