My dog peed blood drops after grooming, but seems fine. What to do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If she passed blood in her urine then that would be concerning for things that can affect the urinary tract such as a urinary tract infection, urine stones or even a tumor. Further diagnostics would include a urine culture and abdominal imaging. I recommend that you have Bell evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry to hear Maya isn’t feeling well. I recommend taking her to a vet to have her checked for a urinary tract infection. They may also want to take radiographs to look for bladder stones. They will then be able to treat her with the proper medications. Good luck and kisses to Maya!

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. With the symptoms you are describing, I would suspect a urinary tract infection or something causing irritation in the urinary tract such as bladder stones or crystals. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Anya so that the most appropriate Diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would test her urine to see if there is evidence of an infection or crystals. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns that you may have

Blood in the urine is never normal, even if it only occurs intermittently. Likewise, it’s unusual for Tilly to experience so much inconsistency in her urination habits. Some young female dogs can have recessed or hooded vulvas, which can make them more prone to developing urinary tract infections. However, since Tilly’s urine has twice not shown evidence of infection, it sounds as though it’s time to look in a different direction. I would start by asking your vet if they can take x-rays of her abdomen to check for evidence of bladder stones. The crystals associated with bladder stones often show up on a urinalysis (I’m assuming that’s what was done with her urine samples), but not always. If the X-rays are clear, your next step may be an ultrasound of her bladder with a veterinary radiologist to check for any other abnormalities. Bladder tumors can also cause similar signs, although that would be highly unlikely given how young Tilly is. I hope this helps and that you can find some answers soon!

Hello. This could be a result of a serious bladder infection, prostatitis, urinary bladder stones, a bleeding polyp/mass or trauma. This definitely warrants a trip to your veterinarian ASAP. If he has stones, he could become obstructed which is a life threatening emergency, so getting to the root of the problem is urgent. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach

Princess likely is suffering from a urinary tract infection or possibly bladder stones, or other condition that causes bleeding of the urinary tract. This may be very painful. You will need to take Princess to a veterinarian for an exam and urinalysis. Your vet may also want to take radiographs to rule out bladderstones. She will need prescription antibiotics, pain medicine, and other treatment depending on the diagnosis. Please check her gums, and should they be white or very pale in colour, she will need to be seen by a vet right away.

He could have a urinary tract infection so he should be examined by a vet. Your vet can run a urinalysis to look for infection and other potential causes. He could also have urinary stones, prostate problem, tumor, etc. If he has an infection then he will need an antibiotic to treat.
