Bladder Infection???

[behinderhereyes]

I took Sophie to the Vet on friday and found out she had a bladder infection. The problem is I have no clue how she got it. I'd like to know so I can keep this from ever happening again. They said she may have gone into heat, but she didn't bleed at all. Wouldn't I have notice some signs. I am taking her to get spayed in November. First I have to set up an appointment. Its on the 19th. Does anyone know how it could have happened.
