Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 16 years old | 8 lbs
Female cat 16yrs old. Has thyroid and kidney disease, managed well. Eats and drinks well. Peeing tiny amount or droplets of urine with little blood the last few hours, seems like her usual self other than that. I’m concerned she will decline further over night.

If this is the only symptom there is no reason to panic, take her to your vet first thing in the morning, it's probably just a urinary infection, she will probably need an antibiotic course to solve this issue.

As long as some urine is coming out (even if it's just a few drops at a time) she is OK to wait until morning. But, if she keeps going to the box and straining with no urine being produced then that is an emergency and she should get to a vet right away. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
