Monkeys with bladder infections often have red and white blood cells in the urine. These may only be visible by microscopic examination of the urine, or pus and red cells may be visible to the naked eye. If the infection is caused by bacteria, then bacteria will be seen under the microscope as well. A sterile culture of the urine will reveal which type of bacteria is causing the problem and a sensitivity test will tell your vet which antibiotics are acceptable to use in treating the infection.

Urinary tract infections include infections of the urethra, bladder, ureter, renal pelvis and kidneys. The symptoms include pain during urination, frequent urgent urination and sometimes fever. (The latter occurs particularly when the renal pelvis is inflamed, in which case it is ... likely to be accompanied by pain in the lower back). Anyone who suspects that they have a urinary tract infection should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Bladder infections, properly called bacterial cystitis, can occur in monkeys. These infections often occur from bacteria ascending (going up) the urethra from the outside and ending up setting up residence in the urinary bladder. Rarely, a bladder infection may occur from bacteria in the bloodstream getting into the kidneys, and then the bladder.

Bacteria that have traveled up the urethra and into the bladder usually cause bladder infections. The most common bacteria associated with bladder infections in women include Escherichia coli (about eighty percent of cases), Staphylococcus saprophyticus , Klebsiella, Enterobacter , and Proteus species. Risk factors include sexual intercourse, use of a diaphragm for birth control, an abnormally short urethra, diabetes or chronic dehydration, the absence of a specific enzyme in vaginal secretions, inadequate personal hygiene and pregnancy.
