My dog has a bladder infection. Are blood clots in urine normal?

Question

I took my dog to the vet and she said that he has a bladder infection and gave me antibiotics but he has been passing several blood clots with his urine is this normal?

C. Rathjens, DVM · Accepted Answer

It's normal for there to be some blood in the urine with a UTI, however passing clots is not very common. If the vet didn't take x-rays or do an ultrasound of he bladder, I'd recommend going back for another appointment to check and make sure he doesn't have a stone - that's not something we always do in the first go around, but blood clots would make me concerned.
