Rocky could have a urinary tract infection that is causing the intermittent debris in his urine. Watch him closely since you feel he is better now. If he isn't continuing to improve then I would recommend to see your vet for an exam and urinalysis. Your vet will be able to start him on antibiotics if necessary. I hope this helps.

    This could be normally puppy behavior since Finely is so young but I would also certainly be concerned about a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking him to your vet to be examined and have a urine sample checked for signs of a UTI. If you are able to, bring in a sample of fresh urine. If you can’t catch his urine on your own just don’t let him urinate before his appointment so they can get a sample for you. Typically a UTI can be treated with a 2-4 week course of antibiotics. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Let us know if you have any further questions!
