Canine gynecological inflammation and hematuria

If your dog shows hematuria during the initial stage of urination, it is most likely due to urethral hemorrhage. If hematuria occurs at the end of urination, it is likely caused by bladder hemorrhage. If hematuria occurs throughout the entire urination process, it is probably due to kidney or ureteral damage. Most cases of hematuria in dogs are accompanied by inflammation, such as poisoning, urinary tract inflammation, trauma, stones, tumors, renal failure, etc. Diagnosing these causes requires careful observation and care by the owner.

Causes of hematuria

Hematuria in dogs is generally due to infections in the urinary tract. If the owner notices frequent urination and incomplete urination in the dog, they should pay more attention. Kidney stones, urethral stones, bladder stones, poisoning, and other factors can cause hematuria in dogs. During estrus, adult female dogs often experience hematuria mixed with urine, and male dogs can also develop hematuria due to trauma or other causes. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and targeted treatment.

Methods of hematuria examination

It is recommended to perform a complete blood count at the hospital, take a DR or ultrasound examination to see if the dog has high inflammation, presence of stones, location of stones, and size of stones. If only the urethra is infected, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory treatment can be given. If the stones are large and blocking the urethra, surgical treatment may be necessary, and prescription diet for the urinary tract should be switched. If the stones are small and sand-like, conservative treatment can be applied.
