My active puppy is peeing blood often. Should I rush to the vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My fifteen week old Australian shepherd puppy has blood in her urine and urinates about every minute. She is still active, and doesn't appear sick in any way except that she is urinating orange of red. What could it be? Should we hurry to an animal hospital? The vet we always go to is on holiday, so we are on our own at the moment. We were thinking of a bladder infection, but maybe it's something with her kidneys or eurethra. Please help us, we are unsure of what to do...

It absolutely could be a bladder infection, and although they tend to be a bit unusual in puppies they can happen. Testing is relatively straightforward including typically a urinalysis will make the diagnosis but often the vet will recommend a urine culture to ensure that the appropriate antibiotic is being used. At 3 months of age I would also consider some imaging (x-rays with contrast or ultrasound) to rule out congenital (present from birth) anatomical issues that could be contributing to urinary issues.
