Can you give a 10 week old puppy cranberry juice for a urinary tract infection?

Urinary Tract Infections
She is a St. Bernard. She urinated 6 times within a hour. She hasn’t done anything like this before today. I am concerned that she might have an infection.

You should worry about a puppy that young being sick. Sickness hits them hard and kills fast at that age. Even bladder infections (if that’s what this is) can be dangerous.
You really need a vet’s advise, but, yeah, you can give them cranberry juice.
Please take the pup to the vet. That’s the only way to get her the proper treatment.

No that would not help at all. If she continues peeing take her to the vet.

No – it isn’t meant for dogs.
Call a vet or animal clinic for advise.

NO NO NO….take her to the vet, the vet can put her on a medication. And it may not even be a UTI. But they will be able to tell you. It could be anything from a UTI to a bladder stone. Take her to the vet before she gets too bad.
Sorry just saw the age…it’s probably not a stone…but she still needs to be checked out if your concerned. It’s quite possible that she’s doing it bc she’s a puppy and sometimes they do funny stuff.

No whenever a pet is sick always take him or her to a vet. Cranberry juices we drink are ushally made with sugar and other bad things dogs should never ever have!!

nope, the sugar in the cranberry juice will produce more bacteria.
she will need to see a vet.
