Hello, thank you for your question about Mollie. A small amount of blood in the urine is to expected after this kind of procedure secondary to the surgery causing mild inflammation/trauma. If Mollie is otherwise acting normally and this continues to improve I would not be concerned. If this persists or she begins to demonstrate other symptoms such as more frequent urinations, decreased appetite, or lethargy it is possible that she may have developed a secondary urinary tract infection. I would recommend having her evaluated by your veterinarian if the signs do not resolve. Hope this helps!
