Most dogs get UTIs when normal skin and gastrointestinal (GI) tract flora get past the urinary tract's defenses. These bacteria then colonize the urinary tract, leading to an infection. E. coli is the most common bacterial cause of UTIs, but several bacteria and even some fungi can cause infections.

While alcohol does not directly cause UTIs, it can raise your risk of getting a UTI, as well as worsen your symptoms. Sometimes, alcohol use can even mimic the symptoms of a UTI, making you feel like you have an infection when you don't have one. Additionally, avoid alcohol use with medications that treat UTIs.

UTIs are usually caused by bacterial infections. These most often enter the bladder through the urethra, but infection may occur through the blood or lymph. Bacteria can enter the urinary tract by way of sexual intercourse, catheters, stool, or partial blockage of a urinary passage.

UTIs occur when the urinary tract becomes infected, usually by bacteria. In most cases, bacteria from the gut enter the urinary tract through the urethra. This may occur when wiping your bottom or having sex, for example, but often it's not clear why it happens.

UTIs and STDs share very common symptoms and are misdiagnosed more often than you may think. According to the American Society for Microbiology, 64 percent of the patients with an STI (sexually transmitted infection) were actually diagnosed as having a UTI instead.
