Under normal circumstances, a healthy dog's urine will be light yellow or colorless, which is mainly related to the amount of water it drinks. If a dog's urine is red, there are generally three reasons. The first is physiological hematuria, the second is hematuria caused by diseases of the urinary system, and the third is non-urinary hematuria. When this kind of situation occurs, the owner can clean up the dog first, calm down the dog's mood, and then take the dog to the pet hospital for a B-ultrasound examination in time. If the urinary tract problem is caused by stones, the stones need to be removed through surgery. Secondly, if there is inflammation in the urinary system, hematuria may also occur, and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment
1. Physiological hematuria
It also means that this is false hematuria. Taking female dogs as an example, female dogs in estrus sometimes discharge it with their urine due to vaginal bleeding, which makes them People mistakenly think it is blood in urine; but it is rare for male dogs to have blood in urine during estrus. If there is, observe and observe. A small amount of blood in urine is no problem. If the frequency is frequent and the situation becomes increasingly serious, you should seek medical treatment in time. In addition, Male dogs should also consider whether there is any trauma to the genital area, which needs to be carefully inspected.
2. Urinary tract infection
When dogs suffer from urinary system diseases, they will urinate blood. Common urinary system diseases include urinary tract infection, cystitis, bladder stones, etc. At this time, There is frequent urination, and in severe cases, it may even be impossible to urinate; if it is a female dog, you can also suspect whether it has pyometra. Open pyometra will have secretions that will be discharged with the urine. These situations require timely medical treatment and relevant examinations.
3. Food poisoning
For non-urinary blood in urine, consider whether the dog suffers from diseases outside the urinary system, such as the dog accidentally eating onions, chocolate, grapes, etc. These foods can cause poisoning in dogs and cause hemolysis, and blood in urine is one of the symptoms.
