My senior dog has bloody urine. When should I see the vet right away?

Question

I have a 9 year old poodle schnauzer. When we went out in the snow for a walk today I noticed it was red after she had her pee. She has a quarter size lump on her stomach but when I took her to the vet a few months ago she said she thought it was a fatty lump. not to worry. Now I am. Should I take her to our vet right away? she is eating and nothing else seems different with her. Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | spayed | 8 years and 5 months old | 18 lbs

Oh no, poor Casey! If she appears otherwise healthy and happy, eats and drinks plenty, you can wait until tomorrow morning if the vet is closed for the night. If she appears lethargic, ill or distressed, or if the urine appears very bloody, then she should be seen by a vet ASAP. Feed her wet/canned food, add water to it, and make sure she drinks a lot of water to help flush the bladder.
