Why is my dog peeing blood, acting sick, and having accidents?

Question

I have a shih tzu/schnauzer mix female 2 years old, spayed. I have noticed her urine is very dark and that at the very end there is a bit of red blood. Her urine is thick. And she is peeing in the house. She doesn't seem to have a fever. She does occasionally pant even though she is just sitting. Her appetite is not good, but she seems to be drinking fluids and wants to go outside quite often, eating the snow. Her temperament has changed to whimpering and barking more often than ever before. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 6 months old | 17 lbs

Oh my. These symptoms are alarming and very concerning. Jojo could either have a serious cystitis (inflamed bladder), raging UTI, or even a bleeding disorder is possible here. Please take her to your local vet asap for an exam, urinalysis and immediate treatment based on her lab findings. I would recommend taking her to the ER vet if at all possible, so that she can get treated quickly before this gets any worse.
