Question
Are there any holistic methods of treating a potential UTI in my french bulldog? She keeps squatting and attempting to urinate but nothing comes out.  She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable but is unable to urinate, which worries me.

Answer
Keith,

It would probably be best to see a vet instead of taking a chance with holistic treatments.

You could also add some holistic treatments to traditional treatment.  One thing you could try is adding apple cider vinegar to her drinking water.  She may not like it so it may be hard to get her to drink it.  You could also add some garlic to her food.

I would still see a vet.
