Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. With blood in the urine, I would certainly recommend having her examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. If she has a urinary tract infection, she should have this treated early on so that the infection does not spread to her kidneys. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
