| Little Drops Of Blood After Dylan got his 4 baby teeth removed on Wednesday, he goes to pee and I see litte drops of blood. I took him back to the vet and she said that it was normal because of all the stress from the dental surgery. Does this sound strange? Can someone please let me know if this is normal. He never had any health issues at all. Please some advise. Thanks so much |

| You need to see another vet that doesnt sound normal at all. Blood in the pee can be a UTI. Good luck

| The vet told me that since he is taking antibiotic because of the surgery, that he will be okay. I need to wait until Monday. This is the second vet I have seen today. How did he get UTI? I find it weird that all this happend after the surgery. |

| Both Vets told you that was normal? I have never heard of that happening because of a dental surgery and it didnt happen with my yorkies. Urinary tract infectons are common wth yorkies. It wouldnt necessarily be because of the surgery. Maybe you are only now seeing symptoms

| Both told me the same thing, that he has an Inflammation and that he should keep taking the antibiotic and drink lots of water. I'm really scare. |

| In my opinion, they're telling you that he'll be fine because he's already on antibiotics, and they're thinking that this will clear up any infection that he might have. BUT it could very likely be bladder stones...Another member on here just had a similar thing happen to her. Her yorkie was having little drops of blood and the vet misdiagnosed it as something else....Well she ended up having the vet do bladder stone removal surgery for her baby. Her and her furbaby have been through so much with this. The vets misdiagnosed his condition. I would recommend having a urinalysis done. They need to check and see if he has stones.

| Here's the lovely thing about antibiotics, certain ones work for certain problems, but not others! For starters, i'm female, my "time" (catch my drift?) had passed a week before leg surgery, now i ended up with a 2nd "time" that month because of the stress of surgery, but i'm a girl and i had a tumor removed from my leg bone, pretty major surgery, they thought that I was peeing blood but it turned out to be something else, still caused from the stress of surgery though. I'm not sure that dental surgery would cause a male to pee blood, and I'm appalled that a vet would tell you that's normal! Surgery can stress your body and make it do all kinds of mysterious things, but dental surgery causing blood in urine, does that sound ridiculous to anyone other than me? And finally, i'm very, VERY allergic to 95% of antibiotics, i contracted a raging kidney infection 2 days before my wedding last year, slept 2 full days before the wedding with a high fever and no other symptoms. I had just been on antibiotics for an ear infection and thought it was coming back. Got through my wedding day, slept the day after, and the day after was memorial day so i slept through that too. Worked tuesday, came home, made dinner, did the dishes and I was so exhausted that i passed out on the couch in my dress clothes, woke up after an hour and could not physically get myself off the couch....long story short....hospital trip....kidney infection! The antibiotics I took for the ear infection do not work for kidney infections, because i was blown away that i had been on ten days of antibiotics and got a kidney infection, therein lies the problem, antibiotics could have caused the kidney infection. SORRY to make this so long but I hope it helps. The doctor can say don't worry he's on antibiotics, he'll be fine, but you have every right to call and say I want him seen and I want this problem addressed. It should be treated as a seperate problem. Good luck and keep us posted, your baby will be in my prayers! |
