My 7 month old pup was spayed yesterday and has had multiple pee accident in house. It looked pink to me so I dipped it for urinalysis and it showed large for blood. Is this normal?

It is not normal for blood to be present in a dog's urine, although it is possible to get a false positive on a urine dipstick. I would recommend having a veterinarian perform a microscopic examination of a urine sample. A urinary tract infection would be the most common cause of blood in the urine of a young dog.

    I recommend to have Louis examined by the veterinarian. Blood could indicate trauma or it could be coincidental. Bladder infection, prepuce infections or prostate infections can all produce blood in the urine as well. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
