One of my female dogs is prone to cystitis, anyone have any ideas what the cause may be?

Saskia C asked:
She is 6 years old now, has had several bouts and responds quickly to antibiotics, but the vet has advised on her next bout they want to do an ultrasound. Does anyone know of a diet that may help prevent cystitis, I do know it’s quite common for females to get cystitis once in a while, but I am concerned that she seems to be getting them more than her share.

Has any woman experienced bladder problems similar to Interstitial Cystitis after pre term labor?

make sure the food is fresh and is not left out in sun. Try different foods. Your vet can supply you with some specific needs food, which is highly expensive.
The main thing you need to look for is lessening bacteria, especially E. coli from being ingested. Also if she is having relations with another dog, this can also bring bacteria to the bladder.
Make sure she has a lot of water. This helps to flush out bacteria naturally.
