My dog is peeing often with blood. Could her cancer be spreading?

Question

My dog has just peed twice with probably less than an hour in between those two urinations, something we've never seen her do before. Additionally, in the second puddle of urine, we noticed she had blood mixed in with it. We don't know what exactly was the cause, but, considering she has cancer in one of her nipples and in her left leg, we're thinking that her cancer has spread.

Poor girl. So sorry to hear she has cancer. Frequent urination, blood in the urine, and small amounts can be a sign of a urinary tract infection, bladder or kidney stones, bladder inflammation, or bladder cancers. Without some testing and an exam, we can't say for sure which of those it is. We will hope for something simple. She will need an exam, a urine test, and some xrays of that bladder. Give your veterinarian a call in the morning for an appointment.
