allison, i don't think the yeast infection could cause a bladder infection but
more than likely the medication she was given. i don't want to scare you but
increased thirst and increased urination are signs of diabetes. an initial urine
test can be done easily by the vet and it doesn't hurt. i mention it because
it's best to go to the vet all prepared for anything and everything. yes, allison,
please keep us posted. we can learn from everyone else's experiences. good
luck to you and your girl and i hope it's something simple and easy to care for.
you might want to give her a tbsp of yogurt once a day to counteract the yeast
infection.

: She is very thristy lately!!! I will call my vet right away and make sure she
: does not have a urinary infection. She just had a yeast infection in her ears
: and was on medication for that. Could that have given her a bladder infection?
: I will let you know the outcome. As for now I have put a blanket back in the
: crate and have chosen to just wash the blankets instead of having her lay in
: drool all day!!! Thank you for your help!!!

: have you had her checked by your vet for urinary infection/bladder infection
: that
: would cause the
: increase in urination. does she seem to have excessive thirst? there are 2
: issues here it seems.
: she pees in her crate and you remove the blanket - so that upsets her and she
: drools. the first
: issue you should tackle is a health check into why she pees so much. in the
: meantime to prevent
: the drooling leave a blanket in there. when our old girl, whoopi, had trouble
: with bladder control we
: simply washed out her blankets when she wet them. let us know what happens.

: My 13 month old weim has been peeing in her crate for some time now and we
: cannot
: get her to stop. She can hold it and has in the past as a pup but for the past
: month she has been going to the bathroom whenever she is in the crate, where it
: is a half and hour or 7 hours. We have always put blankets in the crate with
: her and felt that maybe taking them out would make her stop going. And it
: did...except now when we get home the bottom of the crate is covered in doggy
: droole!!! It is quite gross! There is a layer of wet spit on the bottom of her
: crate and we have no clue how it gets there!!! She also hates going in to the
: crate without a blanket and I will have to force her in, but when there is a
: blanket in there she just walks right in!!! She enjoys licking but it seems a
: little extreme to find so much saliva at the end of the day! Has this happened
: to anyone else? Any advise???
