Abstract

A five-year-old dog was treated for a urinary tract infection (UTI) at a pet clinic in Bengaluru. The pet had a history of bed urination and was accustomed to eating chicken rice and egg rice. After treatment with a polyherbal formulation for 5 days, the pet's intermittent urination on the bed improved. Thus, the polyherbal formulation containing Pashanabheda and Shilapushpa was effective in treating the pet's condition.
