Dogs can get urinary tract infections and they are very painful. Breaking housetraining is a big sign you could have a UTI going on, so it is great you are getting her in to the vet. Expect the vet to get a urine sample and probably prescribe an antibiotic. If the infection is severe, you may get a mild pain medication as well. The good news is that with the appropriate medication, she will get well very quickly..

Good luck.
