Guest Kpparker Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hey guys, Bia hoo hoo is peeing blood (I think). Normally Bia pees once/sometimes twice when we go out. But this morning she peed 4 times. On the 2nd pee I noticed her pee looked off and Im pretty sure there is blood in her urine. I looked at her hoo hoo, and there is a tiny little thing that looks like a blood blister on it, anyone know what that could be? We've got a vet visit this afternoon to have her checked out, but just wondering if anyone has any suggestions in the meantime? We just changed foods, could this be related? Her poop on the new food is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffer Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sounds like she may have a UTI or infection in that area. Get her to a vet to get checked out.

Guest HeatherDemps Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Not sure about the the blister, but sounds like an infection. My dogs have not had this problem, but my cat started peeing blood once (I didn't notice until he did it on the dog bed right in front of me!) and he had crystals in his urine. I'd get her to the vet and get it checked out. I know from my own experience, UTIs are darn uncomfortable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SoulsMom Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Archie (non-grey) had blood in his urine a few years ago. I thought, simple infection. Not so . . . .after an ultrasound they found tumors in his bladder. They gave him a death sentance. Said he had six monthes at best, even with surgery. After many 2nd opinions, and a $2000 surgery it turned out to be polyps caused by bladder stones. And the grumpy old man is still with me today They put him on UD, but after thinking about it I believe the stones formed because of a time when I had to go out of town he wouldn't let the pet sitter take him out. He held his pee for almost 36 hours. I'm almost positive this is what caused his stones. But yours sounds like a UTI, given that she wanted to "go" so many times . . . .

Guest Amy_Bee Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 That happened to Gretchen, and it was a UTI. Don't be upset if your doggie has an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DeweytheGreyt Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Roxie gets urine in her blood after a long romp at the dog park. Something about running that hard, disturbs her kidney's. We had her checked at the vet immediately and all was fine, we just have to be careful about how long and hard we let her run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dmboynt Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 My bridge boy Andy started having accidents in the house, and then I noticed red in the snow when he peed. Took him to the vets, and found out he had a uti. He put him on antibiotics and he was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kpparker Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We're back from the vet. The vet did an x-ray to make sure she didnt have a kidney stone - no kidney stone (yay!) so she is on antibiotics to help clear up the infection. Poor baby had to be mildly sedated for the x-ray and she was so out of it afterwards but she is feeling better now. However, he said her colon wall lining looks irritated and she has yet to have a solid poop since we got her. He wants her (and Tavi who seems to have an allergic reaction to something he was eating - has a rash on his belly - have medication for that as well) to go on a hypo-allergenic thread. Im going to post on food and diet talk to see if anyone has suggestions. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickiesmom Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Karen just seeing this now - hope the meds kick in fast and Bia feels good soon. What are you feeding now? I'll pop over to the food forum to see what you have posted, as I have been on a couple of food quests lately also. Hugs to Bia and Tavi.

Guest Kpparker Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Prayers for your little sweetie. Thanks She's okay, back to her happy go lucky self this morning. We've got lots of medication to help with the belly troubles and her infection. Waiting for the urine/blood test results but I think everything will be okay.
