Dog With Possible UTI But On Immune Suppression Drugs

Posted By T (Denver co) on 10/01/2026

Hi! I noticed our dog squatting more and think she has a uti or bladder infection. She does have a little blood in her urine. She was panting heavily 2 days ago when it started and I did give her ACV which she seems to be acting normal other than the sweating to pee more and still blood in urine. She is peeing less often though and no heavy breathing anymore. She is on immune suppression drugs for severely decreased platelets and was on doxycycline for a month as could have been tick related, but also immune suppression in case immune mediated process. Because of this I’m worried that her immune system is too suppressed to deal with the infection properly - she is seeing positive results from the ACV but do u think a vet visit is warranted? Thank you.
