Abstract
Cystitis is an inflammation of the vesica urinaria. A male mixed breed dog named Max, 3 years old and weighing 18.68 kg, has stranguria and dysuria with a small volume of urine, and hematuria. The purpose of this report is to discuss the incidence of cystitis in male mixed breed dogs in performing diagnostic measures as well as appropriate treatment and therapy for the dog. Clinical examination showed pulse frequency, heart rate, respiratory, and body temperature within the normal range. Abdominal palpation revealed signs of pain. Routine hematology analysis revealed struvite and tyrosine crystals. Urinalysis showed elevated leucocytes and post-renal proteinuria. Urine culture examination revealed Staphylococcus sp. Ultrasonography examination showed thickening of the vesical urinary mucous. Based on findings, the dog case was diagnosed with cystitis. Treatment included antibiotics amoxicillin, anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone, and additional herbal medicine kejibeling. The case dog showed improvement after seven days of treatment with no symptoms such as haematuria. To minimise the recurrence of cystitis in dogs, Urinary Care feed and ad libitum watering can be done to help dissolve crystals in the vesica urinaria.
