| Blood in urine Charlie is almost 3 years old and he has periodically had blood in his urine since I got him at 3 mos of age. He's been treated periodically with antibiotics. Most recently he was treated with Clavamox. He mostly urinates out of doors - I walk him 4 - 5 times a day. But, he still uses puppy pads and that's where I see the blood. He is not neutered. He doesn't appear to be in pain and he's very playful. I don't have a lot of resources for tests, etc. Any ideas? |

| Has his urine every been cultured? Xray? Ultrasound? Dogs are so expensive...unfortunately.

He needs to have tests done to determine what the cause of the blood in his urine is... if your current vet has let this go on for such a long time, maybe it is time for a second opinion. Dogs hide pain very well... he could very well be in pain from this and not be showing it.

| It can be very serious. when my sheltie had blood in her urine I took her in for a culture and she did have an infection but the fact that it returned again made them look herder and they found out she had bladder cancer. She was much older so I did some research and changed her diet and she no longer had any blood that I could see. The vet kept an eye on her to be sure she was ok and she did survive another 2 1/2 yrs to the surprise of my vet. so please have him looked at by a different vet. |

| I agree. He needs a sterile culture. He very likely has had a chronic UTI that hasn't cleared up because he needs a different antibiotic. Only a culture will tell your vet which antibiotic it will respond to. |
