What's going on with my dog's bloody urine?

The common causes of dog urine bleeding include bladder inflammation, bladder stones, bladder polyps or tumors, etc. Dog hemoglobinuria may be caused by hemolysis and other reasons. It is recommended to take your dog to a pet hospital for an ultrasound examination to detect stones or polyps. If the bleeding is caused by bladder stones, the size of the stones needs to be checked. If the stones are large, surgical removal is required. If there are no stones, continue medication treatment, especially traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to medical reasons, it may also be food poisoning or occur during the estrus period.

Disease causes of the urinary system

When the dog's urinary system is diseased, it can cause bloody urine. The first reason is inflammation of the urethra and bladder, which causes mucosal damage and bleeding. The second reason is that the dog already has bladder stones, which constantly irritate the bladder wall and cause bleeding. The third reason is the presence of tumors in the bladder, also known as bladder tumors. These tumors usually have a rich blood supply and may cause bleeding due to friction or urine immersion.

Food poisoning

Foods such as onions, chocolate, scallions, and garlic can cause food poisoning in dogs. If owners are not careful, dogs may accidentally eat these foods and suffer from poisoning. Therefore, owners should pay attention to these foods that are not suitable for dogs. Eating these foods can cause mild to severe damage to the dog's body, and even threaten their lives.

During a dog's estrus period

During the estrus period, female dogs secrete a large amount of bloody secretions, which mix with urine and create a false appearance of bloody urine. Male dogs can also experience hematuria due to trauma during mating or being forcibly separated by humans, which can damage the spongy tissue and cause bleeding. In these cases, owners should pay attention to the dog's condition and take them to the vet in time if they appear unwell.
