Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend having Lola examined by a veterinarian and have her urine tested. I would try and collect a urine sample at home so that you can bring this sample in with you. The blood in the urine may be due to a urinary tract infection. If there is no infection, there may be crystals or stones in the bladder causing irritation. It is also possible that the bloody urine is due to a bladder tumor or bleeding disorder. I would also recommend having her blood tested. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
