| Bloody Urine?? I just noticed Willie just urinated on my linoleum and it was bloody!!! I got so scared I called and talked to the emergency vet. She said it may just be a urinary infection. He seems fine, has been playing all day, eating and drinking fine. Is this normal for a urinary infection to cause blood in the urine?? She said I could wait til Monday for him to be seen if seems seems well. I don't know what to do...

| He does seem to urinate pretty often, but seems like a normal amount. He doesn't drink a lot of water, not an excessive amount. He is just over 1 yr. old Dec. 1st. ~Melody

| Is there alot of blood? Does it look dark red, brownish, or bright red? It is probably an infection. I would check his temp also if there is a fever it probably is infection.. I really hope he is okay...

| No he is not neutered, and I don't think he was used as a stud. The breeder didn't keep him because he was not the body type that she is breeding for. That's why I got him as a pet only.

| Not sure about dogs, but my Cat had that and it was a simple UTI (urinary tract infection), perhaps the vet will just prescribe some antibiotic pills and all will be well! Maybe that is all it is. |

| I really don't know how to explain this and not sound gross or nasty. But, anyway I will just say it. When Otis first started humping and his penis actually came out he had blood on it. The vet said that it happens sometimes when it is the first time that the penis actually sticks out. The reason I know this is Otis was having himself a good time with a stuffed animal when I first saw him do this and when I picked him up I saw his wee wee sticking out and there was a little bit of blood on his stuffed animal. So, maybe that is what happened to your baby and when he peed there was some blood from that. Sorry if this is too gross or anything.

| If it were my dog, I wouldn't make him wait until Monday, any more than I'd make myself wait or one of my kids. I'd take him to the emergency vet asap. |

| Urinating bright red blood is more serious than blood tinged urine. I bet he has a urinary tract infection, but I'd also worry about stones or crystals. If it were me I'd probably take him tomorrow, especially with the holiday coming up. A lot of vets will be closing early on Monday. |
