Plain-English summary
A 7-month-old female German wire-haired pointer was brought to the vet because she had been having trouble urinating for three weeks, showing signs like straining and frequent trips to the bathroom. Despite being treated with antibiotics, her symptoms didn't improve. After further testing, the vet found she had eosinophilic cystitis, a type of bladder inflammation. Fortunately, she responded well to medical treatment and her symptoms improved.

Abstract
A 7-month-old, intact female, German wire-haired pointer presented with a 3-week history of stranguria, pollakiuria, and dysuria that was nonresponsive to antibiotics. Two prior episodes of dysuria-stranguria appeared to respond to antibiotic therapy. Bladder wall biopsies revealed eosinophilic cystitis and the dog responded well to medical management.
