Can Dogs Catch Urinary Tract Infections This Way?

Just wondered...when a dog has a Urinary tract infection/Cystitis then goes out on a walk and cocks his leg up a lamp post...when another dog comes along and does the same and maybe slightly brushes his man parts against the wee as he does this, can the bug be transfered from one dog to another?
Thanks x

Hi Lisa I guess it is just possible but not very likely.
What is more likely is a dog washing the the anal area then licking the end of the penis and transferring germs up the urethra that way.

Hi Lisa, if you are not 100% sure and need to know, phone and speak to your vets. Most are very helpful and will phone back with info even if the receptionist can't get an answer immediately.
