Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 5 lbs
My dog has blood in his pee but we also have another dog in heat and he is going crazy humping and licking could the blood be from him licking and the irritation of the humping and licking or is it something else more serious?

It could be from an infection, irritation/trauma, or possibly bladder stones. Your vet can test a urine sample for infection and then prescribe medications to help treat the problem. You could also consider having him neutered to help decrease the problem in the future.

There are many possible reasons, stones, infections and inflammation are amongst the most common and are readily treated once confirmed. I recommend you take a morning urine sample with you for initial testing, xrays and ultrasound may also be required

Hi, thanksir using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! When dogs are in heat they drip blood from their vulvas and the vulva is swollen. The blood usually isn’t just seen in the urine. Dogs in heat usually don’t have urgency to urinate, straining or urinary accidents. Causes of blood in the urine are: urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine or bladder stones. I would collect urine and store it in the fridge and have Riley seen tomorrow by your Vet. I hope this helps!
