Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 54 lbs

My dog had blood in his urine, he is taking triciminalone 2times a day and torbutral one at night. Would these medicines cause this to happen?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Fozzy! No, neither of these medications should cause blood in the urine. Causes of blood in the urine are: urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine, trauma to the penis, low platelets, other pigment (hemoglobin, myoglobin), bladder stones, a tumor. I would have him seen by your Vet before the weekend. Bring a urine sample with you or do not let him urinate before the appointment so the Vet can get it. I wish you and Fozzy the best!
