My 3-month-old puppy is peeing blood and frequently. What's wrong?

It absolutely could be a bladder infection, and although they tend to be a bit unusual in puppies they can happen. Testing is relatively straightforward including typically a urinalysis will make the diagnosis but often the vet will recommend a urine culture to ensure that the appropriate antibiotic is being used. At 3 months of age I would also consider some imaging (x-rays with contrast or ultrasound) to rule out congenital (present from birth) anatomical issues that could be contributing to urinary issues.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chutki. She needs to see her veterinarian right away. She may have a severe urinary tract infection, bladder stones or even a bleeding disorder. If a bleeding disorder is present, the dog will typically have bruising on the belly or on the gums. Regardless, she will require treatment. I hope this information helps. Good luck!

Hello. This could be a result of a serious bladder infection, prostatitis, urinary bladder stones, a bleeding polyp/mass or trauma. This definitely warrants a trip to your veterinarian ASAP. If he has stones, he could become obstructed which is a life threatening emergency, so getting to the root of the problem is urgent. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach

I am sorry to hear about Pursi. I would recommend finding a veterinarian in the area you are traveling to examine him. Urinating blood can be caused by a variety of issues including urinary tract infection, bladder stones, bladder tumors, prostatic issues in male dogs, trauma, bleeding disorders, and more. An examination is needed to determine the underlying cause and start treatment. Testing the urine and an x-ray may be recommended to find the cause of the blood in the urine. If Pursi becomes lethargic, starts vomiting, or is unable to urinate then this would be considered a medical emergency and urgent care should be sought.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Tip toe needs to go to a veterinarian immediately. Urinating blood can indicating a bladder infection or something potentially life threatening like a clotting disorder. The fact that he is also committing indicates systemic illness. The veterinarian will perform a physical exam and then recommend diagnostics such as urinalysis bloodwork or possibly radiographs (xrays). Good luck and I hope he’s better soon.

It sounds like the puppy may have an infection of the urinary tract. He could have a fever which is making him sick or concurrent gastroenteritis. Either way he needs to see a vet if he is vomiting and urinating blood.

Blood in the urine in male dogs is usually a sign of a urinary infection or a prostate disease, you will need to take him to the vet today in order to get it checked and treated, he will probably need an antibiotic course.
