My dogs urine contains blood in it, not during the initial full out empty bladder pee when u first take home out but as we walk and marks his territory those little bits of wgat should be pee is blood . Starting to worry . He will not eat his dry k/d prescribed food unless I mix it with a can of the same wet food . I took him to our vet and he put him on antibiotics hoping it's an infection and would clear things up . We are almost a week into the antibiotics and no change . His behaviour is normal otherwise and doesn't seem to be in any discomfort other than the blood in pee and not touching his food . What can this be ? Worried if I put him through surgery it might be a rough recover considering he had surgery in sep to remove a big growth near his chest and really struggled to get to himself . I read a bit online and mentions gullstones or tumors . Is surgery only option and how safe is it with him being 12 ?

My 9 year old min pin is peeing blood. He's not in any pain and is eating fine and active. There are no charges in his day to day life just that he is peeing blood. I took him to the vet and they said he looks to be in good health then they took some pee to test and gave me antibiotics to start. They called me with the results and said there is nothing growing in his pee. The antibiotics I don't think are helping cus he is still peeing blood. What should I do next?

Hello I have a 16 year old American Eskimo with gallstone. He was initially diagnosed with biliary sludge last yeat and was started on Ursodiol. This seemed to do the trick and his liver enzymes started going down and had almost returned to normal and he was doing well. He had some vomiting last week and we did some bloodwork, His AST, ALT and gt were all elevated GT was 19 and AST and ALT were both in 900's I think. I do now have results with me now but I do remember that both were elevated and and at least one was in 900's, this is the highest his values have ever been. His pancreatic enzymes were also elevated. we did an untrasound initial results revealed small gallstones although not mucocele as of yet. His adrenals are also slightly enlarged. We did extensive testing last year to rule our diabetes, cushings diseases and other causes. We did not come up with a definitive diagnosis for why they were enlarged. We are currently waiting on review results of a specialist. in addition to the above finding his right kidney is slightly smaller than normal and his BUN was elevated. He is showing some signs of kidney decline but they are very mild given his age. He is also on Denamarin and Azodyl. The vet intitial diagnosis was that he might need his gallbladder removed. Given his age and other conditions we are very concerned about surgery in him. I have been doing some research into other treatment methods and I am not finding much. I bascially have two questions what other options can I try I am concerned because he developed gallstones while on ursodiol. We just changed his diet to i/d soft and nuggets mixed together. He was previously on Fromms whitefish and potato or salmon a la veg mixed with brown rice and canned pumpkin. He is currently on a short term course of famotidine due to his vomiting which has been resolved. Is there anything else we can do nonsurgically? I founf that they sometimes so lithotripsy in humans that are not candidates for surgery but I could not find anything about its use in canines. Can this be done in canines with any success? I am also curious as to how likely he is to progress to mucolele and eventually rupture. He is a happy dog and actually in pretty good shape especially given his age.
