Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My female yorkie is dying. We are putting her down tomorrow, she is 18 1/2 yrs. She starting having blood in her urine. Was curious if that would be from her kidneys or bladder. Everything had shut down no eating, can't stand, spasms, coughing, etc. It happen fast, fine on wed and by yesterday here are. She saw her vet Thursday and going in tomorrow. Was just just curious.

I'm sorry about your baby but it sounds like she lived a long wonderful life. Blood in the urine could be from kidney failure, a urinary tract infection, or cancer of the bladder. I wouldn't worry with the things it could be just know you are keeping her best interest in mind. Kisses to your pup!
