Expressing a dog’s bladder is a procedure that involves manually emptying the bladder of urine. It is typically performed when a dog is unable to urinate on its own, such as in cases of urinary tract obstruction or neurological disorders. Expressing the bladder can help to prevent urinary tract infections and other complications.
The procedure is relatively simple and can be performed at home with a little instruction. However, it is important to note that expressing the bladder should only be done as a last resort, and only if other methods of stimulating urination have failed. If you are unsure about how to express your dog’s bladder, it is best to consult with your veterinarian.
