Why is my dog still peeing bloody mucus after vet visits and meds?

Question

Female Schnauzer, spayed. 11 years old. Has mucus stringing from her after she urinates. It was bloody. Today was clear but still there sometimes. Has been to vet. He ran bloodwork and palpated bladder. Says no bladder stones and bloodwork was okay for dog her age. Just finished two rounds of antibiotics (augmentin) for the past two weeks. She's been losing weight this past year. Down from 14# to 8.4#. On Hills Rx W/d since suffering pancreatitis several years ago. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | spayed | 11 years and 6 months old | 8.4 lbs

I'm sorry that Daisy is having this problem. It sounds like you are doing everything right. I have a few suggestions for you. If your vet has not performed a urinalysis, that should be done. If there is still evidence of infection after 2 weeks of Augmentin, then I would recommend performing a urine culture which involves sending a sample to the lab to determine what bacteria is present and what antibiotics will work against them. If the urine sample just has blood, then I would recommend taking an x-ray since sometimes we can't feel small bladder stones on exam. If all that is normal, then I think the next step would be to perform an ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys to find the source of the bleeding. You vet may be able to do that or may have to refer you to a specialist. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and you can figure out what is going on with Daisy.
