Pregnant dog peeing blood and struggling. Is it a miscarriage or UTI?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

On December 26 I noticed Sugar had difficulty urinating. This morning she passed a small portion of urine with 2 tiny clots of blood. She is 5 weeks pregnant. Could she be miscarrying or is it because she is still mating while pregnant?

Sugar could have a UTI, and I would take her into the vet today. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, and a urinalysis to diagnose if she does have a UTI, and can prescribe antibiotics to treat it.
