Did they do a urinalysis at the clinic, Mick? Sounds like it could be a UTI.
I hope your little pup is feeling better soon!

Quote:
Assuming all of the pain is in the vaginal/bladder region - when puppies get bladder inflammation, it can be very uncomforable. Puppies will often exhibit signs of discomfort for inflammation that would not bother an adult. Mild dehydration (ie subclinical) can lead to concentrated urine which can inflame the baldder. The fact that she is not urinating enough, this could support this. Also infections, vaginitis that is made worse by irritation can all lead to these type of signs. Increasing water consumption - perhaps by adding some water or low sodium broth to her food, can help increase water consumption. This can reduce concentratoin of the urine which can help relief bladder inflammation and vaginal inflammation. Antibiotics can help with any potential bacterial infections. Pain medications such as buprenorphine can be used in puppies. So if the pain is bad, think about asking your vet to see what can be done to make her comfortable. If the symptoms persist or worsen or if your vet recommends, then urinalysis and possibly blood work/radiographs would be indicated. Hope this helps.
