Dog urinary tract grows a meat ball and bleeds
If your dog has a meat ball in its urinary tract that is bleeding, you should check the appearance, size, position, and pain of the meat ball in the urinary tract. Also, observe the color of the blood (is it bright red or dark red?), the amount of bleeding (is it mixed with urine or bleeding normally?), and whether there is any pain during urination. Try to avoid letting your dog exercise and promptly send it to a nearby hospital to reduce the risk of further bleeding.
Causes of meat ball in the urinary tract
If your dog is male, there will be a prostate near the penis. The prostate enlarges during estrus or excitement, and it can be seen with the naked eye. If your dog is female or has other meat balls besides the prostate in male dogs, you need to pay attention to whether there is hyperplastic tissue in the urinary tract, which may cause pain during urination or difficulty urinating. You should seek medical attention promptly.
Treatment of urinary tract hyperplasia
The specific treatment for hyperplasia in the dog's urinary tract depends on the location of the hyperplasia. Most hyperplasia can be removed surgically. However, if it is a tumor, it needs to be sent for examination to determine if the tumor is benign or malignant. If it is benign, there is a high chance that it will not metastasize after removal. However, if it is malignant, it is more likely to metastasize, and malignant tumors are more common in elderly dogs.
Prevention of urinary tract diseases
If your dog has a urinary tract disease, you can feed it a prescription diet for urinary tract health during treatment or recovery. This ensures nutrient absorption and helps treat urinary tract diseases. If your dog does not have a urinary tract disease, you only need to feed it a simple adult dog food. To protect the urinary tract, encourage your dog to drink more water, do not feed it too much offal such as heart and liver, and supplement it with vitamin A. Also, let it exercise more.
