If your dog is urinating more frequently after starting antibiotics, it could be a reaction to the medication, but it's important to rule out other causes and consult your vet for guidance.
- Increased thirst and urination

Monitoring these symptoms closely helps ensure your dog's health and well-being. If you notice other symptoms like lethargy, excessive thirst, or blood in the urine, it’s best to consult a veterinarian for a thorough evaluation.
