mmm..now i know you dont need this at the moment hils but…
male dogs rarely get ‘cystitis’ as such..they got a longer tract so to speak and so infection flushes out faster/easier…
so…if this is a recurring prob then i would be thinking other stuff…like stones etc…
if he was mine i would test the urine now with a dip stick…and then i would flush with potassium citrate and then test again…then i would go to vets with both results…but my vet dont do auto anti bi’s…but what i would be looking for is infection…as in ascending/ascended or other clinisal stuff like stones which may have added in DEscending infection due to scarring etc
if vet says anti bi’s but you dont want you can use a naturasl anti bi like olive vine leaf and flush with mitpotcit…my instinct (val what is yours) is this is not infection in itself like cystitis because then there is discomfort and constant urge…this more like can’t hold and no time to ask because off xyz….and because he male…
