My 2-month-old puppy has pink or reddish urine. What should I do?

Make sure she is going regularly and not having to hold it too long and that she is getting plenty of fluids. The discoloration and increase in frequency can be signs of a urinary infection. Since everything else is normal, you do not need to get her seen as an emergency tonight, but do recommend a urine sample at your vet as this can make house training more difficult and be uncomfortable for her if left untreated.

If this was a one time incident and there are no other symptoms to speak of (i.e. straining to urinate, increased urination or drinking), then I would continue to just monitor Shadow. However, if you are seeing other symptoms, then its best to have him checked to ensure there are no urinary issues such as urinary stones, a UTI, or urinary bladder masses. I hope that things work out well for your pet Shadow moving forward. Best wishes and take care!

Typically dark colored urine is an indicator of blood, which is often seen in pets with a urinary tract infection. It is very unusual to have this occur in a puppy so young. If puppy is eating and healthy otherwise I would monitor him to see if this dark urine is repetitive. If you see it again and again, then it is best to take pup to your vet for a quick check of the urine to confirm and further treatment (i.e. antibiotics, etc).

That may be due to a urinary tract infection/inflammation (UTI). Urine analysis and a check up would be needed to confirm or rule out this clinical suspicion and give appropriate treatment. The UTI could come from the bladder, urethra, urethers or even kidneys. It is unlikely to be related to the genital tract.

Your dog has two problems: red tinted urine can be a sign of a UTI and you will need to take her to your veterinarian for an exam and a urinalysis. If this is a UTI, she will need to be on antibiotics and pain medicine. She could also be suffering from a uterine infection or bladder stones or just be in heat. Your vet can determine that with an exam! The second problem is intestinal parasites. You can get a wormer over the counter for her or have her wormed when you take her to the vet for the urinary problem.

Oh no, poor Kyro! It's certainly not normal that he is bleeding form his penis, and he could have a severe UTI, bladder stones, or may have eaten something toxic causing it. Given his young age and the fact that I can't see him in person to say he will be ok or not, the best thing to do is take him into a vet now. The vet can diagnose what is causing the bleeding and how best to treat it. Good luck, I hope this helps!

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.
