My puppy had blood in his urine, but it cleared. Is a vet visit needed?

Question

My puppy had blood in his urine no mood changes just the blood and frequency in going he's a puppy so he still goes in the house now and then (working o this part) but as the day wore on and began having him drink more and more water it cleared up. So is a vet visit necessary and why would it just stop? Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 8 days old

Poor Baloo! It sounds like he has a UTI. Drinking more will dilute his urine more, and there is likely still blood in his urine even if it isn't visible to the naked eye. A vet visit is definitely necessary, and I would take him in today during normal business hours. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, and a urinalysis to confirm that he has a UTI, and can prescribe antibiotics to treat it.
