EP 476: Lower Urinary Tract Infections in Dogs & Cats – Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention

In Episode 476 of the Pet Care Partners Podcast, we dive into the essentials of Lower Urinary Tract Infections (LUTIs) in small animals—one of the most commonly encountered problems in general veterinary practice. This episode is crafted for veterinary students preparing for boards and practitioners seeking current, evidence-based approaches. You’ll learn to differentiate between uncomplicated and complicated UTIs, implement appropriate diagnostics, select targeted antimicrobial therapies, and recognize when to investigate further for underlying conditions like uroliths, neoplasia, or anatomical anomalies. 🔍 Topics Covered Include: • Pathophysiology and common causative agents (E. coli, Proteus, Staph spp.) • Diagnostic strategies: cystocentesis, urinalysis, culture & sensitivity • When to pursue imaging or additional testing • Treatment protocols: empirical vs culture-guided antibiotic choices • Chronic or recurrent UTI management • Client communication and compliance • Preventative strategies and diet considerations 🎯 Perfect For: • DVM students reviewing core internal medicine • NAVLE prep and clinical rotations • Practicing veterinarians updating antimicrobial stewardship • Veterinary technicians working in general practice or internal medicine #LowerUrinaryTractInfection #UTIinPets #VeterinaryPodcast #PetCarePartners #VetMed #VeterinaryStudents #SmallAnimalInternalMedicine #CanineUTI #FelineUTI #NAVLEPrep #VetSchoolLife #CystitisInCats #CystitisInDogs #PetHealth #VeterinaryEducation #VetMicrobiology #AntibioticStewardship #Urinalysis #VetPodcastEp476 #UrologyForVets #RecurrentUTIs #VetDiagnostics #VeterinaryInfectionControl Tools
