Dog peeing blood and straining after pyometra surgery, is it normal?

Question

My dog is a female toy poodle (8 years old), she recently got a successful operation due to pyometra, but ever since she's been peeing blood every now and then as well as she tries to poop or pee but can't, she pees constantly and it's already been 2 weeks (been free of antibiotics since first week) is this normal after surgery or is something wrong?

Hi, I am concerned that Diva may have developed another problem or illness since her pyometra surgery. I would not expect her to have blood in her urine after two weeks. Its possible that she may have got a urine tract infection (uti). I'm also concerned that it sounds like she is straining to poop/ pee. This is also not normal. I'm sure the vet who performed her surgery would like to check her as soon as possible. They may suggest testing her urine and feces (poop) to check for an infection or parasites.
