What is the cause of dog urine bleeding?

Dog urine bleeding may be a normal phenomenon, but it could also be caused by urinary tract infections, cystitis, urinary system stones, or bladder tumors. First, if it is a normal phenomenon, urine bleeding is a normal physiological phenomenon and owners do not need to be overly concerned. Secondly, if there are other symptoms accompanied by the body, such as urinary pain, urination abnormalities, etc., it is recommended that the owner take the dog to a regular hospital for treatment in a timely manner.

Normal phenomenon

If your dog often eats food containing red pigment, such as carrots and dragon fruit, the red pigment in these foods cannot be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and will be excreted through urine or feces, causing the color of the feces and urine to turn red. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

Urethritis

Mainly caused by infections of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and non-gonococcal bacteria, it can lead to ulceration of the urethral mucosa, causing hematuria, urinary pain, urgency, etc. Treatment with antibiotics according to the doctor's advice is necessary.

Cystitis

Usually caused by bacterial infections, when the bladder mucosa is stimulated by inflammation, it can cause swelling and rupture of the mucosa, leading to hematuria. It is accompanied by symptoms such as burning sensation in the urethra, increased frequency of urination, etc. Treatment with pet-specific antibiotics according to the doctor's advice is required.

Urinary system stones

Causes include abnormal body metabolism, poor urination habits, etc. After the disease occurs, it can cause a large number of stones in the urinary system, leading to abdominal pain, decreased urine output, etc. Smaller stones may scratch the urethral mucosa and cause hematuria after passing. Treatment with drug therapy for stone removal according to the doctor's advice is necessary, and surgical treatment is required in severe cases.

Bladder tumors

Mainly occurring in the bladder, as the tumor grows gradually, it can cause rupture and lead to blood being excreted through urine. Surgical removal of the tumor under the doctor's guidance is required for treatment.

During treatment, encourage your dog to drink more warm water, which can accelerate the rate of new陈代谢, promote urination, and have a cleansing effect on the urethra, facilitating recovery.
