Hi, canine urinalysis shows no crystals, no bacteria, no wbc in sample. Sample positive for blood +3 and protein +2. RBC 20-30/HPF. Any suggestions on diagnosis? Vet does not know.

With protein and blood present without an infection you will need more testing to be sure. An X-ray and ultrasound would be beneficial since a concern at this point would be bladder stones or bladder cancer. Both will show up on an ultrasound to determine what the next steps may be. The ultrasound will also check his prostate he is not neutered as this can affect the urine also
